PaperWM is a tiling window manager and multi-monitor workspace manager implemented as a GNOME Shell extension. It organizes application windows into a non-overlapping, scrollable horizontal tiling layout, allowing users to manage more applications than can fit on a single screen. The system is distinguished by its scrollable-viewport tiling, which allows navigation through a sequence of windows via keyboard shortcuts and touchpad gestures. It also features a multi-monitor workspace organization model that assigns independent tiling instances to each physical display while synchronizing them t
Material Shell is a tiling window manager and Linux desktop environment that replaces traditional window management with a grid-based organizer. It functions as a spatial layout engine that automatically arranges application windows into non-overlapping grids to maximize screen space. The system acts as a desktop session manager, recording and restoring window positions and workspace assignments to preserve the exact state of a previous session after a restart. It employs a coordinate-based layout engine to map applications to specific rows and cells for consistent placement. The project cov
Slate is a keyboard-driven window manager and tiling system for macOS. It functions as a JavaScript-configurable automation tool and workflow orchestrator, allowing users to resize and position application windows through custom keystroke bindings and predefined spatial configurations. The project distinguishes itself by using a scripting API to define complex window manipulation logic, system event callbacks, and custom input mappings. This allows for the creation of sequenced action chains and the execution of external shell commands tied to specific keyboard shortcuts. Its capabilities in
Tiling Assistant is a GNOME Shell extension that enhances the desktop environment by providing advanced window management and tiling capabilities. It functions as a productivity utility that automates the arrangement of open applications into complex grid patterns and custom screen partitions to optimize workspace efficiency. The extension distinguishes itself by integrating directly with the GNOME desktop interface to provide interactive visual guides and selection menus. When a user docks a window to the side of the screen, the tool automatically prompts for a secondary application to fill
