Summary

i3 tiling WM has a tabbed layout. which is my go-to layout when working in i3. kwin had it long ago had this feature (KDE 4 times) but that wasn't ported over to KDE 5, sadly.

IMHO window tabbing is a window manager's job, and since kwin doesn't provide it natively, it might make sense to included into this plugin, since other tiling managers feature that, too (and I think that's a really helpful one - not just to me).

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen

[ ] Add tabbed-layout mode
[ ] Add shortcuts to activate tabbed windows by their position (1, 2, 3, ...)

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Downgrade to KDE 4 -> I think that's not even possible anymore
Use i3 instead -> But then you're giving up a lot on the whole kwin/KDE experience.

Additional info

EDIT: Forgot to mention, stacked layout is not an alternative, as it is visually something completely different and is not as much of a help (visually) to distinguish in what window you are as if you'd have tabbed layout.
