Tiling window management - triple tiling

  • 772

I use window tiling with keyboard shortcuts a lot on my Ubuntu. However, back in the days when I was using an XP OS at work, I found a great tiling manager software called Splitview. The difference which Splitview creates is when you press -let's say- Ctrl+Alt+6 the window spans the right half of the screen. But, if you repeat the same key combination, this time, the window spans right 1/3 of the screen As seen here in triple (vertical) tiling.

So, I could practically tile 3 windows vertically which was obviously increasing my productivity. Since then (namely since Ubuntu 8.04) I am searching for such a feature time to time. Do you know of any similar extensions? To be honest, I don't want to try new X managers.

    In compizconfig-manager, the "grid" plugin has a property called "Cycle through multiple sizes" under "Resize Actions" tab. I checked it and it works as I expected.
