@peterfajdiga can you please take a look at this. Currently every new window opens takes whole 100% screen width which makes multitasking impossible.

What would happen if you then closed every window but one?

Would this make sense as a setting like "maximize whenever the number of windows on the desktop becomes one, and unmaximize whenever the number goes from 1 to 2?"

Yuup, this is exactly the same behavious with https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-plugins/tree/main/hyprscrolling

Users can chooes through config what behaviour they want if only 1 window is on a desktop. I personally like maximize but users with wide-screen might prefer different percent of width.

In the above hyprland link please see the following config keys -> column_width, fullscreen_on_one_column , explicit_column_widths

I just installed Karousel, expecting that I would be able to achieve that behaviour. But I was disappointed to find out that it is impossible. I wish I even had the windows spawn with 100% width as you said. Instead, my terminal is spawning with a 25% width of my screen. That is unusable...

Please, let their be a configuration that can achieve what KAGEYAM4 demonstrated above.
