Hi Team,

I really enjoy using Plasma 6 and wanted to share an idea to improve windo=
w snapping in KWin, inspired by how Windows 11 handles it=2E

Plasma=E2=80=99s tiling works well, but it feels quite manual=2E Adding a =
few optional snap-assist features could make it easier and faster to use:

- Snap layout previews when hovering over the maximize button
- Suggestions to place other windows after the first snap
- Simple guided steps to finish common layouts

These features would make multitasking smoother and help new users get com=
fortable faster, without taking away KDE=E2=80=99s flexibility=2E

Best regards,
