QuickTile by ssokolow

Keyboard-driven Window Tiling for your existing X11 window manager

QuickTile is a simple attempt to duplicate the functionality of WinSplit Revolution for X11-based desktops. (eg. Linux)

You can also think of it as a standalone alternative to the keyboard-related features of the Compiz Grid plugin.

Note: QuickTile cannot be demonstrated by screenshots and I have not yet had time to record some demo videos, so please see the demos on the WinSplit site for examples of what purpose this tool serves.

Dependencies Install

Python 2.4+, PyGTK 2.2+, and (optional) python-xlib or dbus-python

Caveats

There are a few minor known bugs and the minimum dependency versions have not been re-confirmed recently.

Install

Just unpack and run. No installation necessary.
Keybindings for --daemonize can be edited in ~/.config/quicktile.cfg
To install QuickTile system-wide and add it to your desktop's list of programs to be started on login, run sudo ./setup.py install
