[Feature Request] Overlapping Window Positions #133

Open Tealk opened 2 months ago

Describe the feature you'd like
It would be nice to have the ability to allow overlapping window positions in the tiling manager. This feature would be especially useful for users with ultra-wide (UW) monitors, as it would provide more flexibility in managing screen real estate and positioning windows according to specific needs. I'm always frustrated when I can't overlap windows in the tiling manager, especially on ultra-wide monitors. The fixed grid layout restricts efficient use of the screen, and overlapping windows would allow for more efficient multitasking and better use of the available space.

Hey, thank you for sharing this idea. Tiling Shell supports this behind the scenes. However the editor doesn't, hope to update it in the future!
