[feature request] Add option for scrolling window management

While the tiling window management style is tried and tested, and quite good for a lot of use cases. I would like to see an option for scrolling window management like the [cardboard wm POC](https://github.com/cardboardwm/cardboard?tab=readme-ov-file). I have seen a lot of enthousiasm for this concept, and I think a lot of people would adopt it given the chance. But it hasn't really been implemented in a big project in a satisfactory way. The main concepts are: 1. Basics are like a normal tile window manager; you have windows that open to a snapped grid, you can resize and reposition the windows. 2. Instead of new windows resizing old windows to fit on the screen, they open to the side off-screen. 3. You can change what application you are looking at by scrolling through your tiles (with three fingers on a touchpad, holding specific keys etc.) to change what applications are in the center of your screen.
