How to Disable Resizing Both Tiled Windows in KDE Plasma 5

Are you using KDE Plasma 5 and finding it frustrating that your tiled windows automatically resize when you try to adjust their size? Don't worry, we've got you covered. In this article, we will guide you through the process of disabling the resizing feature for tiled windows in KDE Plasma 5, so you can have more control over your workspace.

Before we begin, it's important to note that this guide assumes you have a basic understanding of using KDE Plasma 5 and are comfortable making changes to system settings. Let's get started!

Step 1: Open System Settings

The first step is to open the System Settings in KDE Plasma 5. You can do this by clicking on the "K" menu in the bottom left corner of your screen and selecting "System Settings" from the menu.

Step 2: Navigate to Window Management

In the System Settings window, you will see various categories on the left-hand side. Look for the category called "Window Management" and click on it to expand the options.

Step 3: Access Window Behavior Settings

Within the "Window Management" category, you will find a subcategory called "Window Behavior." Click on it to access the window behavior settings.

Step 4: Disable Window Snapping

Within the "Window Behavior" settings, you will see a tab called "Window Actions." Click on it to view the available options.

Scroll down until you find the section titled "Window Snapping." This is the feature that automatically resizes tiled windows when you try to adjust their size. To disable this feature, uncheck the box next to "Maximize and restore tiled windows when dragging them to the screen edge."

Once you have unchecked the box, the resizing feature for tiled windows will be disabled. You can now freely adjust the size of your tiled windows without them automatically resizing.

Step 5: Apply the Changes

After making the necessary changes, click on the "Apply" button at the bottom right corner of the System Settings window to apply the changes. You may need to wait for a few seconds for the changes to take effect.

Step 6: Test the Changes

Now it's time to test whether the resizing feature for tiled windows has been successfully disabled. Open two or more windows and arrange them in a tiled layout. Try to adjust the size of the windows by dragging the edges. You should now be able to resize them without any automatic resizing.

If the changes have not taken effect, make sure you have followed all the steps correctly and try restarting your computer. If the issue persists, you may need to seek further assistance from the KDE Plasma 5 community or your system administrator.

Congratulations! You have successfully disabled the resizing feature for tiled windows in KDE Plasma 5. You now have more control over your workspace and can adjust the size of your windows according to your preference.

Remember, if you ever want to enable the resizing feature again, simply follow the same steps and check the box next to "Maximize and restore tiled windows when dragging them to the screen edge."
