Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I’m testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.
Just a regular Joe.

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.
There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.
If I were a new user, I’d consider using such a tool. I guess I’ll see myself out. ;-)
That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P
People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won’t shout about it one way or another. We’ll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/caps-lock-behaviour-wayland/79868/8 seems relevant.
As a primary Linux user who wrote his own X tool to do exactly this and has been missing this functionality on Mac - thank you!
I’ll send my unpublished code your way soon. It’s just Go, relying on the WM (run command shortcuts) to call it. Move+Resize and Focus functionality.
It won’t work on Wayland, which seems to require native compositor support - labWC is halfway there.
edit: check your PMs
Can confirm. I’ve been using Linux for nearly 30 years… I don’t post questions on forums. Bug reports for OSS projects, on the other hand…
Dialup deathmatch FTW!
