The only thing I'm missing with the workspaces or tiling WM is slide in Windows for cross cutting concerns...
Want a terminal on the exact screen/workspace without minimizing windows or switching workspaces?
Want to drag a file from a file manager into an open Window?
Want to lookup something in your contacts or calendar?
I thought of something like quake-mode [1]/ guake as global overlay triggered by a shortcut like super+t for terminal etc. Would be a nice Addition to cosmic with tiling i think. Did not find the time for a PR yet.
Spectrwm(rather obscure, but I like it) has a free window mode for things like this. where free windows are in all workspaces. Define some hotkeys for the special app invocation and perhaps add a protected region to keep normal windows out.
