[domferr]

• New: It is now possible to have a different layout for each workspace. With this addition you can now select your favorite layout for each workspace of each monitor.

• New: You can choose a key to be pressed to deactivate the tiling system while moving a window. Pretty useful if you prefer the tiling system always on (i.e. without activation key) but sometimes you want to move a window without using the tiling system. Closes [Feature Request] Allow holding a key to stop tiling a window #164 [Feature Request] Add the ability to cancel the tiling when dragging a window and pressing right click. #141 [Feature Request] Add a deactivation key or an option to invert the activation key #130
• New: When you export layouts or settings, the file chooser now comes with the name pre-filled.
• Fix: Improved reliability of windows borders. Closes Window border bug #171

How to install

⭐ This update of Tiling Shell is landing on GSE too!

Manual installation

There are two builds and you need only one of them, according to your GNOME Shell version:

• For GNOME Shell versions 45, 46 and 47: tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip
• For GNOME Shell versions from 42 to 44: GNOME.42-44.tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip

To know your GNOME Shell version, run gnome-shell --version.

Extract the downloaded archive. Copy its content to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com directory. You need to reload GNOME Shell afterwards (e.g. by logging out). Then you can enable the extension:

/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com

Hey thank you man you're doing Gods work!

The only thing I can say is that when you import & export layouts you get the old gtk file picker and not the new nautilus one

edit: I'm on gnome 47
