You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.
Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:
Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your “tiling zones” on your monitors.
Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the “tiling zones” you set up.
Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it’s a pretty cool feature.

any idea how I can divide the display into thirds? I only have the option to split horizontal/vertical which gives me halves…
You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.
Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.
yeah, that’s how I’m doing it now. it bugs me though that it’s not exactly 33%…
Know what you mean, would probably be a worthwhile feature request to make on the bug tracker.
thanks for this!

PS: which plasma Version do.you use?
#kde #KDEPlasma
Once I figured it out it seems to work as expected.
