Public bug reported: Unity is an amazing desktop environment, however one feature that is missing is the ability to tile windows using a tree-based approach, ala i3 (http://i3wm.org). This makes Unity much harder to use whilst only using a keyboard, as the mouse is required to place and move windows.
Tree-based tiling also helps to maximise screen real-estate, akin to Unity's incorporation of screen controls when windows are maximised, by optimising window placement using horizontal and vertical panels, and resizing windows into optimal shapes and sizes. Please consider this as a wishlist item. ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668152 Title: Unity does not support tree-based tiling of windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1668152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
