Toggle Tiling on a per-monitor basis

[rileyaft]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using a 1080p and 4k monitor, fully maximized windows on the 4k monitor can become difficult to read, especially if scaling is set close to 100%. This can lead to lots of deadspace while a smaller window would be easier to read.

Not fun!

Describe the solution you'd like
a) Using kwin's floating tile functionality when tiling (is this even possible due to polonium's implementation?)
or
b) Having a toggle functionality to disable tiling on different monitors

Describe alternatives you've considered
Removing windows from tiling using the keybind (Meta+Shift+Space) is nice, but is annoying to do every time a new window is opened.

Much more readable.

Otherwise fully disabling polonium when a second monitor is connected works well enough.

Additional context
Thats it!

Have you tried the kwin layout?

Have you tried the kwin layout?

I have, but when opening new windows, it immediately gets overridden by polonium's tiling.

Strange, can you upload a log?

Sure, here you go:

It would appear that you are not in fact using the latest build, as there are resizing layout messages appearing when the debug message for that has been removed for a few weeks now.
