<p>Something I miss from <a href="/tags/tiling/" rel="tag">#Tiling</a> wms/compositors like <a href="/tags/i3wm/" rel="tag">#i3wm</a> and <a href="/tags/sway/" rel="tag">#sway</a> when I&#x27;m on <a href="/tags/kde/" rel="tag">#KDE</a>:</p><p>I use <a href="/tags/yakuake/" rel="tag">#Yakuake</a> on KDE <a href="/tags/plasma/" rel="tag">#Plasma</a> to have a terminal that&#x27;s easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don&#x27;t want to see it.</p><p>On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.</p><p>Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I&#x27;ve got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it&#x27;s just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)</p><p>I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;ll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It&#x27;s too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There&#x27;s always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It&#x27;s easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.</p><p><img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/polymaths.social/BlobCatDerpy.png" class="emoji" alt=":BlobCatDerpy:" title=":BlobCatDerpy:"></p>
