Gnome has terrible default behaviors, and most things you cannot fix without a Gnome Shell Extension.

But all the best Gnome Shell Extensions are unmaintained and no longer work on the current releases of gnome because the Gnome Shell breaks every few months and developers get tired of constantly updating their extensions just to maintain existing behavior and eventually give up.

I don't know of any other window manager that provides a good Wayland compositor and doesn't require me to learn a bunch of keyboard shortcuts and tiling mantras... except maybe KDE.

But KDE is broken in it's own way. KDE reimplements everything itself. There are a bunch of KDE-only applications that suck. That's not horrible as I can just ignore them, but there was some other reason I started hating KDE that I forgot. Please remind me.

print yourself a little cheat sheet and give sway a try. youll prob never go back.

only 5 or so keyboard strokes you will learn, its a lot simpler than the rest of tile world.

saying you dont want to is basically like saying cant remember alt+tab 😁

alt+1 - switch to workspace one

alt shift 1 - move window to workspace 1

alt+enter - new terminal

alt+e - layout horizontal

alt+v - layout vertical

alt+s - layout stacked

alt+arrow key, change focus

I did sway for a week with a paper cheatsheet just like you say, about 4 years ago. When things got hectic I couldn't manage and had to switch back. I never made it over the hump.
