There have been a few tiling assistants (mostly for X, occasionally for other major OSes) over the years, they never seem to quite persist.  \nThis one is charmingly generic because it relies on things that work in X that have intentionally been abdicated in Wayland, even though Wayland is largely by the people responsible for things like EWMH and ICCM and basic support for programmatic window control that make this kind of portable software possible.<\/div><blockquote>\n<p>Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support for Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Xfwm, KWin, Marco, Muffin, Mutter and other <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Extended_Window_Manager_Hints#List_of_window_managers_that_support_Extended_Window_Manager_Hints\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EWMH<\/a> compliant window managers using the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/X_Window_System\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">X11<\/a> window system.
