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.

Bismuth Configuration Module

🤝 Acknowledgments

This project was made possible because of the hard work of other people on Krohnkite KWin Tiling Script.
