Option to force windows to auto-tile without having to hold the shift key.

I am perhaps a bit spoiled by Bismuth (sure it wasn't advanced but it worked well enough), but I feel like the whole point of a tiling window manager is to automatically tile windows. My workflow under bismuth was such that I could drag a window to a new location and have it automatically re-tile. Rebuilding the layout/re-tiling the window via their respective shortcuts does nothing on both X11 and Wayland as of version 0.6.0, and even if it did It's a hassle to have to hit those keybinds every time I want the windows to look right.

You've got the beginnings of a great window manager here, I think it's just a matter of polishing the experience to require less manual intervention on the part of the user.

#18. Thank you, but the script really isn't a window manager. It's just an auto tiling script built on top of a window manager that doesn't give me a large amount of control. Unlike bismuth, this script doesn't actually manage and control tiles to the degree needed for this feature. This script will never be bismuth because the idea behind them is quite different.

I see. Its a shame about the kWin API being so tough to work with. its visually a great window manager; proper tiling would make it top of it's class.
