how to split screen?

andrew907 · 08-07-2022, 08:57 PM

I am comfortably set up with a Pinephone running Mobian and a Bluetooth keyboard, but it would sure be nice to be able to see two apps at the same time like in Ubuntu Touch or even in Android.

How do I do that?

Currently there is not official way for doing that but you can try in terminal:
gsettings set sm.puri.phoc auto-maximize false

If I remember correctly that command allows the "windowed mode" similar as in Ubuntu Touch Smile

Not going to be perfect on phones screen but you can try and see

This will do the job, thank you.
