  • new: enhanced edge tiling! Thanks Gregorein. Tiling Shell now supports 3 modes:
Mode What it does
Default The current behaviour. Does not follow the active layout. It follows a quarter division, so corners tile to a quarter while half side tiles to the full half of the screen.
Adaptive Like default, tiles to quarters or screen half, but also follows the active layout.
Granular Only follows the active layout, never considering screen half.

  • new: it is now possible to bring into foreground all the tiled windows. It can be enabled and disabled in the settings (disabled by default). When enabled, bringing into foreground one tiled window will bring into foreground also the other tiled windows:

How to install

:star: This update of Tiling Shell is 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, 47, 48 and 49: tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip - For GNOME Shell versions from 42, 43 and 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
