blrsn / zentile Goto Github PK

On multi-head systems tiling spans across all monitors. Option to limit tiling to only one monitor would be great.

zentile runs without problems until the tiling shortcut is run Ctrl+Shift+t, Windows move, and some of the windows from my secondary screen are also dragged to my primary one.

Not only the tiling is completely scuffed, but after this happens, zentile seems to crash and tiling is no longer respected, the process remains alive though, and needs to be killed for this to happen again.

Video showcasing the problem:

Looks like zentile is crashing when run from autostart. It expects an active window when started and crashes when it doesn't find one.

Am using Openbox

readme needs to be updated.
I thought go get gonna clone the repo for me lol

add git clone command before those two. (just to avoid confusion)

The second layout (moves the master window to the top moves the others at the bottom) does not resize my leftmost window correctly. Sorry for being a noob!

Edit: I am using arch xfce (btw)

On my OpenBox system I run xdotool key ctrl+shift+t at startup in order to have my desktop tiled by default. Is it possible to set the same thing with the zentile configuration file?

So if i tile a window it overlaps my panel, is there anyway to fix this. Sorry if im just dumb that i just can't find a way to fix this

It would be nice if I can disable some applications from tiling, such as ulauncher

Pacstall is a community-driven AUR-like package manager for Ubuntu. We have an ongoing pull request to add Zentile to our repository.

We have a few questions for you:

• Would you like to maintain the pacscript (similar to a PKGBUILD) yourself? We can maintain it for you if you decide not to.
• Could you include a section in your documentation showing Pacstall as a valid method of installation for Zentile for Debian/Ubuntu users? We could make a pull request for that if you want.

I'd like the gaps that I had set for multiple apps to carry over even when viewing a single maximized application, or what would typically be maximized.

I am on manjaro (openbox) with latest packages and binary release of zentile 0.1.1, works fine with previous releases. Disabling poly bar does not fix the issue, i suspect some thing to do with window decorations.

these two windows i found which wont tile correctly
kitty
spotify

screenshots (sorry for the dark theme)

I mean something like what xpytile does. One problem with xpytile is it being a python script depending on external python packages.

zentile stops when xfdashboard is activated with hot corner.

Ghost windows occur quite often. At this point there is only an empty space that cannot be filled with another window. The error is not reproducible for me to date and very annoying. The error also does not go away by itself, so you have to at least log off and log on.

Nice would be an autostart for all workspaces.

Apart from that, "thumbs up" for zentile.

Thanks in advance for a tip or for the removal of the bug.

I have gaps set to zero, but Firefox still has gaps, or rather a border around it. This seems to only be an issue with Firefox and its forks, Brave tiles perfectly. I am on Xubuntu 20.04 using Xfce 4.14. I have included a screenshot of the behaviour.

I like to have/write some indicator showing current desktop status: tiled or untiled.
It is possible to check that with some command?

I know it sounds like stupid idea, but I like to have zentile autostarted on 3-desktop (for example) and could be nice to have some status indicator maybe as an executor in tint2 panel.
So I need the way to check if current desktop is tiled or untiled.

Thanks for zentile :)

• changess to ~/.config/zentile/config.toml:

  tile = "Super_L-t"

• expected behaviour: tile when pressed Super and t together
• result: tile when Super is pressed
• thoughts: It looks like zentile only accepts Super as a individual key
• desired fix: recognize Super_L as a modifier?

Notes:

• Combinations like Super_L-H works fine in my desktop environment (xfce4). So perhaps this is not a wider xmodmap issue?
• When changing untile = "Super_L-u", pressing Super key causes flashing of the windows perhaps due to the conflict that Super_L-u and Super_L-t are the same to zentile.

Hi, i love your tool! I played a little with the config file and I am not able to put Alt_L as a modifier. Even the keycode 0xffe9 does not work.

Can somebody help me out? :)

Please add save last configuration count main windows and other

zentile can have other layouts like bspwm's binary tree layout , fibonacii layout etc to make it more awesome :D!

I found my config file in ~/.config/config.toml, the folder zentile wasn't created. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is properly set. Ubuntu 20.04 using LXDE/OpenBox.
Also could you please add info like this (path to config) to the verbose output? I hate it when programs don't do it, makes searching for the files more difficult than it has to be.

Hey Dev,
I use this software on daily basis.
I love it very much.
I used to use https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm and that project is also amazing.
Zentile just lack Rules so that it can be decided manually to how to deal with a window.
And a socket would be amazing to make scripts with zentile like ricers do in bspwm.

Using with XFCE love a llot

in complete tiling window managers there is generally an option to "disable tiliing hints" or something similar. is there something like that for this? ive used alacritty with some transparency to demonstrate.

Currently the about says:
"Automatic Tiling for EWMH Complaint Window Managers"
and the readme says:
"On-demand tiling for Openbox, Xfce and other EWMH Complaint Window Managers."
I think both should read Compliant not Complaint if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you :)

If switched to vertical tiling the bottom row will have shifted to the right, leaving a space on the left.

On latest stable Nvidia driver, zentile build from latest commit or binary release both have this problem.

I got a "WARN[0000] Got a bad access error when trying to bind 'Control-Shift-t'. This usually means another client has already grabbed this keybinding." but for every single keybinding.

For some reason I can't bind Right Alt key as a modifier, already checked xmodmap and xev if I got the correct key. Supposedly Mod5 is also the Right Alt key, but that also doesn't work.

What I tried:

- Mod5
- Alt_R
- 0xFFEA
- AltGR

It seems I first need to first hit my custom keybinding to call zentiling and after that I have to always hit the keybinding to activate tiling.

As a user, I would like to see more clearly which window is currently active/in focus. Right now there is too little visual feedback to accomplish this in my opinion. For example: the Pop!_OS tiling window manager achieves this by placing a thin, brightly colored border around the active window.

For example an application launcher popup, in my case Ulauncher or xfce4-appfinder, both open and are tiled into the bottom right corner and other tiles resized accordingly. Not a huge deal and everything else works great but is there a way to ignore a popup window such as these?
