Immediate recommendation with KDE: your Windows key and the ~ key pressed together will bring up the ability to set snapping zones for windows. Very helpful tool, especially if you were a fan of "FancyZones" in Windows

Very important to enable wobbly windows as well.

I don't know if the key bind changed, but it's meta (windows key) + t, now. I only know because I read a very recent article from KDE about how the latest plasma -I'm on 6.4.3- tweaked it to be better.

I really like it, it has the option to create window gaps similar to how i3-gaps is.

Then hold the shift key when dragging a window to make it snap.

yeah it's meta+t for me too.
is there a way to snap a window so it occupies 2 zones? i have a vertical monitor divided into thirds and sometimes i want a window to be 2 thirds tall :p

You can delete a zone and then an adjacent one takes up the space. Then click and drag the area between the now 2 zones to resize.

I think they're unique to virtual environments too, now. So maybe make a virtual environment for when you want it 2 zones tall. Idk how to do that though, as I have never messed around with virtual environments.
