Trying to move client to a screen with a fullscreen application already running removes the client. about kwin-quarter-tiling HOT 6 CLOSED

Sorry for a slow response. Fullscreen applications "block" the screen. I've chosen to remove the clients in such situations for consistency – I personally don't think tiling on top of a fullscreen client is desirable behavior. However, the client should go back to tiling when moved from a blocked screen back to a screen without a fullscreen application, so that's a bug.

Good job reading my spaghetti code by the way, removing the removeClient call fixes the issue but allows tiling on blocked and ignored screens. Removing the if (client.included) condition a few lines up should fix this though. I'm already in bed, but I have a few hours tomorrow to fix this issue and multiple other ones that have been piling up while I've been busy.

Thanks for the feedback. It makes sense that nothing broke for me because i don't have any ignored screens. The code itself isn't that bad to get around. Lets just say that i have seen much worse :)

On an unrelated question, i am not at all familiar with developing kwin scripts, and i have another rare bug with this one i would like to track. Can i ask how you develop and debug this script?

I found that i could use

qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.showInteractiveConsole

to start an editor and execute the script but its not the most convenient way for me.

I'm afraid the interactive console is the best way to debug KWin Scripts. What kind of bug are you experiencing?

Sometimes when i move a window to another screen with mouse, and leaving the mouse on top of the screen so the window moves to the screen and fullscreens at the same time, it breaks tiling. But i haven't tested yet as to in which circumstances this occurs.

from kwin-quarter-tiling.

Fixed. Quarter Tiling shortcuts now move windows across screens even if the screens are ignored or blocked. However, you may not notice the change as fullscreen programs are displayed above others, so the window moved to the same screen will be located under the fullscreen program.

I can confirm it works now, thanks!
