I use a tiling - or specifically a tiled scrollable window manager, PaperWM. I never jived with a tiling wm until this one. It keeps windows the sizes that I set, and scrolls them left and right, moving windows off the edge of the screen if necessary to make room for the focused window.
I have an ultrawide which benefits a lot from tiling. I usually have a terminal at ¼-screen-width, an editor at ¾-width, and a browser at ½-width. When I scroll to the left the terminal and editor are both fully in view. When I scroll to the right I can see either enough of the browser to reference details while I work in the editor, or most of the editor while I read in the browser.
An ultrawide is 4/3 the width of a typical monitor. So the ½-width browser is equivalent to ⅔-width on a typical screen, and the editor is equivalent to full-screen.
