[FEATURE]: Window decoration to toggle tiling/floating #456

Open fsimonis opened 1 year ago

fsimonis commented 1 year ago

Summary

Depending on my workflow, I extensively use the mouse to untile windows or move them between screens.

While there is a quick visual way of untiling a windows (by dragging it), there is no easy way to tile it again or to identify in which state a window currently is.

A window decoration would be ideal for this, as it doesn't clutter the UI and allows to quickly tile a window especially after moving it. (In this case, the cursor is already close to these buttons anyhow) Just like with maximize/minimize, this would also act as indicator in which state the window is in.

Add a window decoration/button to toggle the window between tiling/floating.

Leave it as it is.

I was looking for a keyboard shortcut for tiling my window because I keep making my browser floating white switching the tab, or creating a new tab with my mouse. Does this mean that there currently is no way to retile a window once it goes to floating mode by draging it with mouse? This is sad. Bismuth is otherwise almost perfect.

Just want to bump this again. It would be wonderful if we can get this "retile" feature added since it is very easy to untile windows with a innocent misclick, and apparently the only viable way to retile them as of right now is to close and reopen those windows.

Bismuth has been keeping my windows organized and is just a wonderful feature otherwise.
