Usage
🎉 To start using Bismuth enable it in System Settings > Window Management > Window Tiling.
⌨️ You can view the shortcuts in System Settings > Shortcuts > KWin. (The
shortcuts, introduced by the project, will have the Bismuth: prefix). If you
used Krohnkite before, you can import some of its shortcuts using the bash
script.
🔧 If you want, you may also make a couple of manual fixes and tweaks to improve your experience with window tiling. See Tweaks section.
Configuration
You can configure Bismuth in the System Settings > Window Management > Window Tiling.
🤝 Acknowledgments
This project was made possible because of the hard work of other people on Krohnkite KWin Tiling Script.
