Konveyor introduces scrolling column tiling for KDE Plasma users running Wayland and Plasma 6.4 or newer
↗
Konveyor introduces a scrollable column-based tiling workflow for KDE Plasma users running Wayland and Plasma 6.4 or newer.
Konveyor provides a modern window management approach for KDE Plasma, enhancing usability by allowing users to scroll through their open applications horizontally. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with multiple monitors or those who need to manage numerous applications simultaneously, as it optimizes screen space without overwhelming the user interface.

Konveyor allows users to manage windows in a horizontal scrolling layout, keeping the traditional Plasma environment intact.
It supports multi-monitor setups with independent scrolling rows and customizable layouts for various screen configurations.
Users can install Konveyor with minimal additional features, focusing solely on scrolling tiling or utilizing additional widgets as needed.
THE READ
What the cluster adds up to.
Konveyor changes the way applications are tiled in KDE Plasma by introducing a horizontal scrolling mechanism rather than the traditional stacking method. This means that users can have a more organized view of their open windows, which can enhance productivity by allowing easier access to applications in a clutter-free manner.
The installation of Konveyor requires KDE Plasma 6.4 or newer and is designed for systems running Wayland. Users on Arch Linux, Fedora, openSUSE, and Debian-based distributions can easily set it up, but they will need to ensure that their systems meet the dependency requirements and periodically rebuild the application after system updates.
However, Konveyor is not a standalone replacement for Plasma or KWin; it functions as an effect within the existing environment. This means that while it enhances window management, it does not disrupt the established workflows within KDE Plasma, allowing users to retain their familiar settings and functionalities.
