About this tag
Window tiling in Windows refers to arranging application windows in a non-overlapping grid layout, often controlled by keyboard shortcuts. The tag covers tools like GlazeWM, which replaces traditional window dragging with a tiled, keyboard-driven layout inspired by i3wm, and Microsoft PowerToys, which includes FancyZones for custom window layouts. These utilities help power users manage multiple windows efficiently without relying on manual resizing or overlapping. Discussions focus on improving workflow through keyboard-first window management, particularly for users who prefer tiling over the default Windows stacking behavior.
