#paperwm — Public Fediverse posts

If you, like me, are losing your hair because #paperwm has not been released yet for GNOME 50... this seems to work. Unstable branch and such of course.

"what if you had an extra mouse button to manipulate windows movement" #ux #uxdesign

from this video: https://youtu.be/1fZTOjd_bOQ?si=rlMZArPxx5QpyDXg&t=1745

well, obviously. That is why, for almost 2 decades now, I always have a mouse with extra buttons and always map the super/win-key to one of the side buttons and always configure my #windowmanager to use the super/win key to manipulate windows.

But I just realized, many won't ever have considered this trick.

#gnome #paperwm

Man kann in virtuellen Maschinen übrigens auch gefahrlos andere Systeme ausprobieren. Dazu zB die Anwendung "Gnome boxen" / "Gnome boxes" verwenden. Darin kann man virtuelle Rechner erstellen.

Probiert zB mal irgendeine Distribution mit #gnome und installiert darin die Erweiterung #paperwm. Dann habt ihr eine Oberfläche die euch bei der Arbeit am Rechner so unterstützt, da wird sogar #macos neidisch.

@NuclearSquid @lebout2canap Blague à part, dans le domaine bien particulier de l’UX des gestionnaires de fenêtres : si quelqu’un peut me citer une évolution aussi dingue que #Niri ou #PaperWM, enlighten me.

Après 5~10 ans de WM classiques (fenêtre flottantes), puis 20 ans de WM en mosaïque (dwm, wmii, awesome, i3, sway…), les WM « scrollable-tiling » ont cliqué immédiatement chez moi. Ils me semblent supérieurs en tout : plus intuitifs, plus efficaces, et configuration minimale.

Three-finger scrolling in #paperwm is broken on Gnome 49, so I've been trying out the #niri window manager with dms as an alternative. So far it feels snappy and polished - I'm very impressed! My only real complaint is that it lacks an option to turn off window snapping when scrolling.

It started with scrollable tiling (first PaperWM, then Niri), now it continues with my daily runs of Death by Scrolling. If it continues like this I will end up creating a Loops account for myself😏.

Then I came across #PaperWM. It's a GNOME extension! So, I erased everything on my laptop and made that minimal #arch install, then set up GNOME. Looks suitable enough for me without the configuration hell I've experienced with the others.

Suite à un post de @birozularutti qui s’est mis à l’essayer sur les conseils de @fabi1cazenave, j’ai moi-même installé l’extension #PaperWM pour #GNOME.

Côté pile je ne quitte pas le confort de mon environnement de bureau habituel, côté face le potentiel n’est pas exploité à fond (en particulier le mode overview, encore plus quand on compare avec Niri) et PaperWM est tenu aux limites qui lui sont imposés par GNOME, mais de toute évidence le “scrollable tiling” c’est vraiment un truc pour moi.

@birozularutti @lebout2canap Nécessairement ! 😇
Et oui, je crois bien que #PaperWM a résolu élégamment le problème de la gestion des fenêtres. Ça me semble à la fois plus intuitif que les bureaux classiques et plus efficace que les bureaux en mosaïque. Perso j’utilise #niri et je suis totalement conquis, après 20 ans d’utilisation de tiling (wmii, i3, sway…).

Update:

I've just installed #Fedora workstation and I must say, I'm more relaxed now. Gnome 49 soon to be released so I'm looking forward to that. Also, for anyone using #Gnome desktop environment on their laptops, you should take a look at the #PaperWM extension. It's a total game changer for me. I historically have only ever used keyboard driven tiling window managers on laptops because I just hate trackpads. This extension is a perfect substitute imo.

@SillobreMVC J’utilise des bureaux pilotables au clavier mais oui, dans le registre des bureaux souris, Gnome a le bon ratio ergonomie/intuitivité : il y a un petit effort d’adaptation à faire quand on vient de Windows, mais le résultat est bien plus efficace.

Si jamais tu veux expérimenter l’étape d’après en ergonomie, #PaperWM est une dinguerie. J’utilise un bureau (#Niri) qui repose sur ce même principe.

Heavily considering giving #niri a try after #paperwm has been causing some stability issues lately. I'm not sure if I'm ready to go back to a non-DE setup though (ran #openbox and #awesomewm back in the day). Niri sure is tempting though :-)

In my ongoing transition from Mac to #Linux I have been trying to avoid just setting up something like a Mac, but worse. So I have been trying some more radical things, like the tiling window manager i3, but it was a bit much for me.

Then I came accross scrolling tiled window mangers and, oh my! This is how things should be done. There are a few out there, but I'm using #PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM

Going back to my Mac with higgledy-piggledy windows feels outright barborous now.

Very much liking #paperwm, a scrolling tiling WM extension for GNOME: https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM

Historically I haven't gotten on well with tiling WMs, so I'm surprised at how well the scrolling kind work for me.

Trying out #PaperWM. It's pretty buggy, especially with multiple monitors, but it's a really interesting window management paradigm!

@CleoMenezesJr @kramo are there workspaces in that video? I've been using #PaperWM and really liking it.

I'm getting used to #PaperWM as a tiling solution on top of #GNOME. It's quite nice, but it took me some tweaking (in particular key bindings) to finally appreciate it.

Interessant!
Gibt's ein #hyprland plugin, um die gleiche Scroll-Funktionalität zu erlangen, wie es #niri hat.
#hyprniri !

The other change on the hardware side of my dev (but also gaming) setup was getting 40” Dell 5K super ultra wide (21:9) monitor (U4025QW). Extra screen estate is nice for productivity (I switched from 16:9 4K), it has lots of connectivity, the 120hz refresh rate makes #PaperWM buttery smooth, and the desktop looks super sharp at 125% scaling on #Wayland. The curved surface is sth I was worried about, but turned out it’s a subtle curve and not distracting at all. Some say it’s an endgame monitor…

Last change on the software side of my dev setup was to start using #PaperWM. It’s so awesome! It’s fast, smooth, has exactly what I need from a window manager, and it’s rock solid. In the past I’ve been using #awesomewm, #xmonad, #i3wm and while I liked them all better than classic floating WMs, only PaperWM feels exactly like what I always needed. And, on a 120hz display its quick animations look fantastic.

I started new year with major changes to both my dev setup and my home media setup. In both cases it feels like great improvement!

Anyone using #niri ( or #paperwm on gnome ) ? I have recently been using it and I love the concept.

Or any other plugin to make the existing desktop a scrolling one. Curious on how many people are using such workflows.

I recently replace my 27" 4K monitor with a 34" wide-screen as the wider screen better suits my way of working. At the same time I installed the #paperwm extension for #gnome and it really makes the window management in Gnome suit my workflow a lot better. Might event try out a tiling WM again some day :)

Installed the #PaperWM extension for #Gnome today. It converts your desktop into an infinity-scrollable desktop where new tiles spawn to the left, right, top, bottom, whatever you configure. For people, who like to use #i3 or other #tiling #windowmanager, I highly recommend to try out PaperWM for Gnome. Truly fascinated by this idea.

I have been using #karousel on #KDE for several weeks, and yesterday shifted to #PaperWM on #GNOME. Took some time to configure things like I wanted, but it's much smoother than karousel (and fancier).

Overall, I like the scrolling tiling pane paradigm. I realized I've been manually doing something like this using workspaces with 1-2 windows per workspace with two keybindings - one to change workspace and one to switch windows inside a workspace.

5 days in and #PaperWM is better than #karousel at the current stage. The default keyboard shortcuts are more sane to me and it feels snappier. Although I had to remap some keys on #PaperWM , I'd need to remap every key on #karousel . back to #GNOME

4/ #MaterialShell was the closest second to #PaperWM for me. Some decent ideas there. Still, I usually want my tall pane on the right and it is just not an option with Material Shell. I also dislike that it forces the Gnome top bar to the left, though I can live with that.

What are people using for #tiling under #Wayland? Of course there's #Sway, but I prefer to run under a DE (as I have done with #xmonad and #XFCE for years). #Gnome seems to be the only stable DE on Wayland. Tried #PaperWM, #PopShell, #MaterialShell, #TidalWM. None are a great replacement for xmonad but some come close. (feedback so far to follow)
