Winsplit is a window tiling application for windows. It's quite useful for managing several windows on one monitor by using all available screen space.

An excerpt from the site:
Automated window handling (resize, move, reorganize, close tasks)
Shape - process association
Global hotkeys and clickable virtual numpad
Automatic startup
Automatic update
Moving a window with mouse (drag'n'go)
Hotkey configure
Layout configure
Fusion between 2 windows
Minimize/Restore by hotkey
Mosaic mode


KDE has tiling but don't as extensive or mature as Winslit revolution. I would hope KDE devs model their tiling implementation from winsplit because it's tiling done right.

Tiling is something that should be asked of the KWin developers.

"Global hotkeys" are referred to as Global Shortcuts within KDE.

I can't find how to configure it; but a few days ago, I accidentally found out that
Alt+Shift+F11 toggles tiling in kwin .
(But I can't get it to agree well with me :( )
