In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master |
|
|
|
column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the |
|
|
|
stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are |
|
|
|
managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved |
|
|
|
freely. |

Windows are grouped by tags. You can view all windows with a specific tag per |
|
|
|
time. However, each window is allowed to contain more than one tag, which |
|
|
|
allows to make windows visible in all views. |

Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a |
