Add buttons for automatic window tiling to window menu

[in4matix]

I would like to look at a window, wink at it, then look at a point on the desktop, then wink again and then the window must go tile itself there.

I'm lazy... Sorry...

Ahahahahahah, I love it!

Is right clicking on the window considered as valid as winking? :)
It may be cool to have a button labeled "Auto-tile" in the menu that shows up when you right click on a window. If you press it, the window will be tiled to nearest tile (or to an empty tile, or to a tile that has similar size, or [put here any idea you may have]).

Uh, maybe multiple buttons!

• Tile to the nearest tile
• Tile to an empty tile
• Tile to a similar tile

Lol, sorry about the satire. I'm quite happy with the original functionally ;-) But I am sure many other users would love it.

Yeah don't be sorry, the whole joke was very useful for me because it gave me that idea ahahaha ¹
We will see this feature coming in the next release 🥳

What would be cool is a button or hotkey to automagically tile all open windows whether they are minimized or cascaded. Afterwards, one can just resize them as wanted.

My goal (to be done in the future, maybe later than september) is to have a button or hotkey to automagically tile the open windows based on your previous activities. So, for example:

• if you are used to tile firefox in the middle, it will be placed there
• if you are used to tile firefox in the middle with the terminal on the left and you have both firefox and the terminal open, they will be placed like you are used to

Of course this is just an idea: it is not clear yet how much effort is needed to implement all of this in a reliable way. For sure, it will be fun :)

Another possibility is a list in settings to set where certain windows should tile. Also, not sure if already possible as I have not opened settings since version 5, is to re-arrange already tiled windows by dragging them around and then they just swap positions.

Hey,
Any reason why I cannot update from GSE ? (I never did the version mod)
