I'm a heavy user of Amethyst, the Xmonad-inspired tiling for OSX/MacOS (https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst) on my laptops.

And are disappointed when using my Ubuntu desktop of the lack of simple tiling inside Unity. In my ancient fvwm and kde days there were more options.

I don't want to change my whole windows manager to Xmonad or i3, as I try to keep my setups fairly vanilla (as I use a lot of different machines/VMs and need a quick setup), but adding an unintrusive simple tiling option would be nice.

I have tried X Tile which is ok, but crashes too often and also moves full screened windows from my 2nd monitor onto my main monitor which is annoying.



Use xmonad with them. I use Xmonad with XFCE on my office computer.
