3 years ago First of all, thanks for reporting the issues! Even though it doesn’t seem like the most active project at the moment (last commit in October, whoops), I do appreciate every issue opened here.
Anyways, I’m just about to hit the bed, so I’ll quickly skim through the issue, and delve deeper into it later...
The oddest thing to me is that previous versions of the script didn't have that issue, but they have different issues on their own.
The version 2.0 was a complete rewrite fron scratch – the old script was completely scrapped and everything was done from the ground up. Basically 1.x and 2.x are like different projects with nothing in common, except the basic idea.
...in the newest version if I kill all windows on a desktop, it automatically moves me to another desktop.
There should be a preference for this. If I remember correctly, it’s called ”follow clients”. If the problem still persists after disabling it, it’s a bug which I’ll fix.
The main issue that I have with the latest update of the script is that when I move windows to another desktop, even when they are focused, they don't get resized.
This is definitely a bug, I’ll look into it.

Before I start, I just want to say that this was exactly what I was looking for in kde. It's my kwin tiling script of choise, and I won't be changing it any time soon.
I've used 2 versions of it so far, in 2 distributions (mx linux and void linux). The script is consistent even on older versions of plasma. The main issue that I have with the latest update of the script is that when I move windows to another desktop, even when they are focused, they don't get resized. This means that if a window occupies half the screen and I move it to an empty desktop, the window will maintain it's half-size state, even when it has the entire desktop to itself, unless I move it around (in which point I assume it realizes it has all that room). The same thing happens if I move a window to a desktop that already has another window in it, so it puts the moved window on top of all the other windows untill I move it again, in which point it detects the other windows and gets resized properly.
The oddest thing to me is that previous versions of the script didn't have that issue, but they have different issues on their own. One older version resizes windows perfectly, but overrides the amount of virtual desktops to 2, and I somehow managed to bug a couple shortcuts (focus down, up, left, right) by uninstalling and reinstalling the script via kwin scripts/install scripts. They no longer worked for some reason.
Also not sure if this is intended, but in the newest version if I kill all windows on a desktop, it automatically moves me to another desktop. This also didn't happen in older versions. I would prefer if I don't get moved automatically to another desktop once I close all windows on the one I'm using.
I believe there is another kwin script called "move windows and focus to desktop", which does exactly what it says and, oddly enough, seems to resize windows perfectly when moving them between desktops, which tells me the bugs on your script might have something to do with the way kde plasma handles focus. I've seen someone have a similar issue before, so it seems I'm not the only one experiencing this.
