Thank you Derek, awesome video! always a pleasure to see a video made by you.
Btw, coincidentally, I see traditional 'window' managers incorporating some sort of tiling functionality .
In KWIN (kde/plasma) there is a good tiling script from github. Also for xfce with xfwm you can find a tiling script for the window manager.
Maybe, if you want to do it, you could try a traditional window manager with tiling scripts, if you can find them of course.
Could be an idea for a video, but it goes a bit against your philosophy of light and no nonsense, fast desktop environments that make sense. But still, interesting in my opinion.

Hmmm. My apps laid out on a grid.... Can you say Guh-nome? ;-> Seriously, a nice feature, but I think I'll stick with my rofi menu when tiling it up with Herbstsuft. On the other hand, who am I kidding? With my -Grandpa Coder- use case, just about any DE or tiling WM would serve well. HL is still my favorite, but I've been revisiting xfce4 and my -workflow- isn't all that different, especially since I use the same hotkeys. Cheers to all.

Xmonad is one of the first tiling window managers I tried, and to me, it felt the most responsive and clean... BUT, for a beginner and non-coder, the config file felt like a true nightmare. I probably will give it another go sometime. I am an i3-gaps user for a long time.

Is there an automated way to ToggleStruts on fullscreen and go back to avoidStruts on normal screen mode ? Like in i3 for example.
On i3 you don't need to toggle nothing to put videos on fullscreen. Is there a way to do so in xmonad ?

That gridselect feature looks so good. I was looking for something like that but I didn't find this, it's hard sometimes to type the right words to find what you need :D. Good video.

This is more of an advanced use case. but i have some simple home automation I've made. and i use the GridSelect to interact with those. like turning on / off lights etc. pretty neat.

Add this and that, these 3000 libraries and those 400 modules and your tiling window manager turns into tiling Windows manager. :P

Please can we get a similar video for Qtile? And in general a big video about showing us how to do very advanced things Qtile?

I actually like how Xmonad handles fullscreen by default, and I'm looking for a way to get the same in Qtile. Can someone help?
