A kwin script that creates and deletes desktops as you move windows on the last one.
I intented to replicate some of gnome-desktop's behavior with moving windows around. As this is a simple script for satisfying my needs, it only workds horizontally left-toright. What I did is this:
Version 3.0 tested on Plasma versions from 5.27 to 6.0.3. For versions tested
since 5.6, see releases 1.*
, latest found
here
On plasma 5:
git clone https://github.com/d86leader/dynamic_workspaces.git
cd dynamic_workspaces
plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript -i .
On plasma 6, instead of the last line:
kpackagetool6 --type KWin/Script --install .
Then you might need to restart kwin. Do this by either logging out and back in, or by running kwin_x11 --replace
in krunner.
If updating, change the plasmapkg2
/kpackagetool6
command above to the following:
# plasma 5
plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript -u .
# plasma 6
kpackagetool6 --type KWin/Script --upgrade .
This script doesn't live well with other scripts that create workspaces. Mix at your own risk!
