can have multiple viewports in kde?

A feature of fmvw is that one can have a big virtual screen that can be seen by pieces of the size of your actual screen. The portion of the virtual screen you see is called viewport. I like to have 3x3 viewports.

Is that possible to have in kde?

Thanks,

You can configure X to have a big virtual screen and you keep seeing a portion of it. It won't be the samethin as you will slide through the entire virtual desktop instead of jumping from viewport to viewport.

KDE suports multiple Desktops but I think it is not oriented in the same way. I mean that they are logical desktops (like Work, Media, Notes) and have little relation with each other (for example above, below, etc). You can give them names and change between them easily.

Thanks.

Even if I prefer viewports, I could manage with logical desktops. Indeed I'm using them. They are even "spatially located", In the pager of the panel 9 desktops are not organized in a 3x3 matrix but in two columns: one of 5 desktops and the other with 4. Shorcuts are configurated to go to above or below, etc. Would it be possible to rearrange them in a 3x3 fashion?

I don't think so.

(sorry for taking so long)
