A tiling WM allowing multiple overlapping windows in the same tile, be it via keyboard-shortcuts or tabs per tile or what else. Is there something like this?

    i3 has tabbed windows, and it stands to reason that Sway should have it too.

    Hyprland has window groups: https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Dispatchers/#grouped-tabbed-windows

    Niri has a feature like that, but a little different since it’s a scrolling tiler. A column that contains two or more windows can be switched to tabbed mode, which displays one window at a time with full height, but you can’t have a tabbed group that is a member of a column, only full tabbed columns.
