_ **Cortile** is a very intriguing project that I would like to bring to your attention._ _I have been testing it in recent days and it looks very promising. Maybe one day in the future it will be integrated and included by default with Mabox. I encourage you to try it now._ [Cortile](https://github.com/leukipp/cortile) is a tiling manager with hot corner support for EWMH Compliant Window Managers (so also for OpenBox) > Support for **keyboard and mouse navigation** sets cortile apart from other tiling solutions. The _go_ implementation ensures a fast and responsive system, where _multiple layouts_, _keyboard shortcuts_, _drag & drop_ and _hot corner_ events simplify and speed up your daily work. > Features: > - Workspace based tiling. > - Keyboard and hot corner events. > - Vertical, horizontal and fullscreen mode. > - Persistent windows via “Always on Visible Workspace”. > - Floating windows via “Always on Top”. > - Resize of master-slave area. > - Drag & drop window swap. > - Auto detection of panels. > - Selective tiling areas. > - Multi monitor support. Cortile is available from Mabox repo. ```auto yay -S cortile-git ``` [Configure](https://github.com/leukipp/cortile#configuration-) it to you needs and try 😃 ---

I added Cortile Launcher to _middle-click on desktop_ menu - to easy start and stop it. If installed 😉 ![Mabox_20230519-13-41-12](https://forum.maboxlinux.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1dadd4a86035d56f8b3c7194e1d92ca275b48d6f.webp) ---
