    You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.

    Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:

    1. Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your “tiling zones” on your monitors.
    2. Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the “tiling zones” you set up.

    Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it’s a pretty cool feature.

    How do you get into that tiling config? I found it at one time but now I can’t seem to figure out how to bring it up.

    Edit: found it, Meta-T.

    And then shift dragging works for snapping.

      I see you figured it out. Will add an explanation to my post as well, if you hadn’t deleted your reply I would have answered that instead. :)

      If I snap it in the middle it fills the entire vertical height and half the horizontal width, which is the opposite of how I have the tiles set up.
