I've never seen it being shown here, so I thought I'd make a post.

I've never got into tiling window managers, there's a hurdle to get into them because I have to decide first which one I'll look into. I have to spend time without knowing if I even want it. And the first impressions weren't that awesome to jump over the hurdle. I was "satisfied with basic tiling" or super user friendly, minimal workload, tiling things. Usually, I played with awesome tiles or forge and they are great.

I stumbled upon PaperWM which extends the view to the side. It automatically appends windows to the side and you can scroll through them. You can do a lot and I still need to figure out how everything works but it's at least fun to explore it. I'm on GNOME 45 and so far I haven't seen any bug.

I extended the step widths with

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/paperwm/cycle-width-steps "[0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1]"

According to https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/issues/262
