# Tactile
|
|
|
|
Tactile is a tool for tiling windows on larger displays. It's not a tiling windows manager, like i3 or Hyprland,
|
|
so it works alongside the regular Ubuntu Gnome window system that anyone coming from Windows or Mac would be
|
|
familiar with. By default, Omakub has configured it with 6 slots, using one main column, and two wings. This is
|
|
a great setup for having your editor in the center, flanked by docs and browser and AI helpers and what else.
|
|
|
|
You don't need or probably even want to use this when using a smaller laptop, like a Framework 13. On a screen
|
|
like that, you're better off either using your applications full-screen and switching between workspaces, or
|
|
just using the two-way default Gnome tiling. Super+<arrow left> and Super+<arrow right> controls the default
|
|
Gnome window tiler, putting the active application on either the left or the right. Super+<arrow up> will
|
|
maximize the application. And, finally, F11 takes an application full screen.
|
|
|
|
But when you are on that big scren, use Tactile with Super+T to bring up the tiling overview. Then press W+S
|
|
to make the application take up the two center slots. You can also do Super+Q+Q to take up just the Q slot in
|
|
the upper left slot. Or even Super+Q+S to take up the four slots on the left of the screen.
