Repeatedly pressing e.g. [CTRL] [ALT] [NUM4] e.g. kept resizing the window within a pseudo maximized-to-left-edge state. There was no keyboard-only way of tiling another slice next to it. Same goes for vertical stacking. So this means with the keyboard-only interface there was no way of tiling more than 4 windows at a time, except when resizing them in a way that would enable one single [CTRL] [ALT] [NUM5] narrow-resized window tiled to the screen center, which would occupy the entire vertical space from touching the panel on the top edge down to the bottom of the screen. I don't recall at any time having had the possiblity of neatly tiling 6 windows onto the screen in a keyboard-only way. "Flexible width" is one way of saying it. It would have been a thousand times easier to simply resize windows manually within a sensible grid - the mouse way..
