        Hi
        Quick question, are there any tiling window manager-like features to lomiri?
        I use sway and miraclewm and I have got very comfortable with this setup. I get that lomiri (and UT more specifically) is designed for a different use case but I was curious if it would even be possible to add this in myself for using a UT device as a computer when docked.

          @RJDan No, it doesn't have tiling mode. The closest thing is the side-stage but it's basically just split screen.

          It would indeed be nice to have tiling and there were people who already discussed about it showing interest but no one has yet to do the actual work 😅

          If you know QML, you can already do some kind of prototype of it but the proper implementation needs to to do on the lower level stack too like Mir/QtMir.

            I don’t think Mir or QtMir would need changes for this. There is already a working tiling WM based on the Mir apis: Miracle-WM
