Automatic tiling with Stage Manager?

[boozedog]

Love Rectangle Pro!

I'm using it with Stage Manager and it's great, but I wish I didn't have to manually arrange my windows.

I always arrange my windows side by side with 1/2 width (for two windows) or 1/3 width (for three). I am using the Snap Panel to accomplish this presently.

Is there a quicker way for me to do this rather than manually assigning the slots? Like when I open a new window it should just magically tile with vertical divisions.

Thanks for the feedback! Are you looking for something similar to a linux tiling WM? If so, which one? The reason I ask is because I do have plans to eventually add in automatic tiling behavior, but I'd like to better understand what you're looking for since there are a lot of different ways automatic tiling can be implemented.

Thanks @rxhanson honestly my favorite tiling experience so far has been AeroSpace on macOS. I have used various tiling WMs on Linux including PopOS and Sway, but mostly I used Tiling Shell extension for GNOME: https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell

You can pretty much see my entire use case in the first 15 seconds of this AeroSpace demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOl7ErqWbrk

I'm not really a keyboard shortcut guy, I prefer using mouse to drag windows around and resequence them. I think most tiling WM users are more keyboard-orientated though.

I couldn't figure out a way to use AeroSpace with Stage Manager, so right now for me Rectangle Pro + Stage Manager is the perfect setup. If I had automatic tiling I would be 100% happy 😄

hi @rxhanson any progress on auto-tiling? thank you!

Thanks for checking in. Not yet, but it's still in my plans. I'll post back here when I have something ready to try out.
