One notable feature being added is <em>Windows Suggestions<\/em>, which assists users in efficiently tiling their open windows into available spaces within a layout using the <em>Snap Assistant<\/em>. While this feature needs to be manually enabled, it is a welcome addition that simplifies the window-arranging process.<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with <em>Tiling Shell<\/em>, it provides various methods for tiling windows, including the option to use customizable keyboard shortcuts, a combination of keyboard and mouse actions, or simply using the mouse to drag windows to screen edges. The update also enhances the <em>Snap Assistant<\/em> by incorporating the <em>Windows Suggestions<\/em> feature, which was previously accessible only through hot-key grid tiling or edge dragging.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, <em>Tiling Shell<\/em> v16.3 addresses some keybinding issues that users have faced, such as challenges in switching focus between secondary windows and tiling problems linked to specific resolutions when inner gaps were set to <code>0<\/code>. Visual improvements have also been made, enhancing the border radius and width of tiles when gaps are adjusted.<\/p>\n<p>A new configurable keyboard shortcut has been added to allow users to hide all application windows except the one currently in focus, addressing a common request from the community.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this update enhances the functionality of the <em>Tiling Shell<\/em>, which remains a strong choice for users seeking a flexible and powerful window tiling solution on Ubuntu and other GNOME Shell distributions. It is free and open-source, compatible with GNOME versions 42 and above. Users can easily install it by searching for \u2018Tiling Shell\u2019 in the <em>Extensions Manager<\/em> and disable the built-in <em>Tiling Assistant<\/em> to avoid potential conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>You can get <em>Tiling Shell<\/em> from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/extensions.gnome.org\/extension\/7065\/tiling-shell\/\">GNOME Extensions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An update for the Tiling Shell extension, designed for GNOME Shell, introduces some valuable enhancements aimed at improving user productivity.
