Xfce Tiler

Stable 2026 Author

Quadrant, half and directional window tiling for XFCE / xfwm4, across multiple monitors, driven by keyboard chords.

XFCE has no tiling that fits how I work, so I wrote the smallest thing that does. Each quadrant is a key, and pressing keys together combines them: Super+1+2 is the left half, Super+1+4 maximises. Arrow keys step a window across the screen and on to the next monitor.

It reads the work area per monitor through Xinerama (falling back to a single screen without it), moves windows through EWMH, and an installer writes the XFCE shortcuts for you, with a dry-run mode.
