Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hello,
Currently the windows tiling management is very manual. It breaks my workflow and brain concentration. It is very frustrating when you have to manually tile the windows.
It will be greatly helpful if you can add automatic tiling similar to i3 Window Manager in Windows 10/11 or via these powertoys.
It is lack of the automatic window tiling management that frustrates me a lot on windows. I am sure many users will appreciate it.
There is nothing more peaceful than keyboard based navigation

Scenario when this would be used?

In tiling mode sometimes one of the adjacent window need to be resized to give space to others. Say you are reading an article on web and taking notes in Word or notepad and now there is a figure that need to be zoomed in or out. By resizing the window the browser automatically reflows the text appropriately or zooms the image. I also sometime open a few more apps such as calculator or calendar or work apps that need to be temporarly opened and closed.
The automatic tiling window management takes care of this dynamic workflow for me.

Supporting information

i3 Window Manager in Linux/Unix verse is very user friendly and used by many people around me. Some swears for its usability and functionality. I also use it on my linux laptop. Windows 11's window snaps feel like patches infront of it and are not that usable.
The keyboard driven workflow creates a fluid workspace for me.
