Hmm... tempted to try a tiling window manager again (tried i3 a few years ago, but couldn't really see the utility at the time), since I just got a big 32" 4K monitor for my dev machine. I've caught myself starting to manually arrange all my windows into "tiles" anyway, now that I've finally got the screen real estate to do it :)
- sevensor 8y agoI also run a big monitor (39" 4k TV), and tiling is great. I can fit 3-6 terminal windows / text editor windows side-by-side, depending on the fonts used. Sometimes I put windows with larger fonts at the periphery, and a couple of small-font windows in the middle, so that I can easily look to the side for reference while focusing on a column of smaller text in the middle. This works beautifully with Kakoune, where I have multiple windows attached to the same editor session. I can paste from my large-font reference windows into my small-font working windows without having to figure out where my mouse pointer is.
