SimpleTile

A simple tiling extension for Gnome Shell that (omg) works on the most recent version (currently 3.46). SimpleTile does not do any automatic tiling -- instead it allows you to move the focused window to a particular grid position.

Installation

Clone to the shell extensions folder:

cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/ledbettj/simple-tile.git SimpleTile@weirdhorse.party

Activate:

gnome-extensions enable SimpleTile@weirdhorse.party

Use Super+KeyPad<N> to move the focused window. For example, Super+KeyPad3 will move the focused window to the bottom right quadrant. Super+KeyPad<Enter> will move the window to the next monitor.

Status

This is a really simple implementation:

  • Moving the focused window to a quarter/half of a screen
  • Making the focused window full sized
  • Moving the focused window between monitors, preserving size/placement.

Current limitations:

  • no configuration panel. This means keybindings are not easily configurable.
  • Does not work on windows that are maximized or "half maximized" via Super+LeftArrow, etc.
  • Does not have the ability to move window focus via keypad.
