@KernelDeimos 's dream is about to come true!

@jelveh this looks interesting, I want to give this a try.

You got it! Assigning it to you :)

Some prerequisite issues to this:
- window management needs to be decoupled from everything else
- ensuring single-source-of-truth for state across the board will help greatly
- do we need to move to web components first? We might create more work later if we don't
- good keybind management is absolutely necessary for this
I've used both i3 and xmonad, and I prefer i3's approach so that's what I'd recommend.
One thing that's important to know: this task is a long road. A very rewarding road though, since the changes necessary to make this possible will improve the stability, flexibility, and maintainability of Puter's ui.

this escalated quickly.

It sure did, let me spend some time understanding what @KernelDeimos has suggested.

What about auto-tiling with extensive configuration, like hyprland does?

That definitely changes the nature of this task and makes it a bit simpler. Keybind configuration remains very important for that but the implementation could definitely be more like KDE's tiling feature.
I really prefer the idea of it being a "replacement window manager" since that would make gui a lot more flexible for different use-cases, but this could be a very good intermediate solution.

KDE's tiling is trash. It only let's you drop windows into predefined places, like Windows' fancy zones.
Auto-tiling places the window in the half of the currently focused window. Then you can drag it to the position you want (or use keybindings).
Hyprland additionaly has window rules, animations and so on.
It may be difficult to grab the input devices without interfering with the OS.

I didn't understand this, do you mean the focused window covers half the screen? With auto-tiling you might be describing the same thing I was talking before regarding i3
; i3 automatically tiles the windows, i.e. rather than having a key combination that "tiles it" everything is always tiled.

Hyprland let's you choose between dwindle and master layout:
- Dwindle: Looks, which window is focused; splits it in half; one half is that window, the other is the new window; when a mouse is placed in a window half, this is where the new window goes
- Master: One half of the screen is one window; the other half contains the other windows in a vertical stack
