since i was toying around tablet mode stuff lately, i tought of a thing i would like to see in kwin when switching to tablet mode, that maybe is appropriately sized for a gsoc, do you think the following is a good idea? when going in tablet mode, i would like window placement to be maximized, window borders to be absent when maximized ( both of which i think would be currently feasible with a fairly trivial script, just to expose tablet mode to scripting i guess) and slightly more complicated, some kind of gesture/ui similar to windows 10 split screen mode, visible here: https://youtu.be/CRfi_Vfg3Wo?t=1m1s which would be some kind of combination of maximizing a window to take half of the screen, which is supported with showing a kindof alt+tab ui on the half that't free. In the end should all be done in a (script? effect?) so is easy to disable altogether thing is, how much of the core has to be touched to allow such an extension. -- Marco Martin
