Next, it added keyboard shortcuts to support tiling windows without using a mouse. Then, more recently, edge-tiling introduced.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>But Tiling Shell v12 adds another way to tile \u2013 one which doesn\u2019t require keyboard gymnastics or dragging windows around the place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2>Tiling Shell<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>With <em>Tiling Shell<\/em> v12, right-click on an application window to access tiling options from the context menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The top section will show three options:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cMove to best tile\u201d<\/em> \u2013 tile window to an empty space nearest to the centre of the screen<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cMove to rightmost tile\u201d<\/em> \u2013 tile window to nearest empty space on right<\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cMove to leftmost tile\u201d<\/em> \u2013 tile window to nearest empty space on left<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>If only one zone is free in the active layout, a single &#8220;move to best tile&#8221; option is shown instead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Don\u2019t want to tile to the currently active layout?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>At the bottom of the context menu is an overview of all preset and saved layouts. To tile the window in question to a segment in one of these, just click a zone in any layout and the window seamlessly morphs to fit<a href=\"#a37fc8cd-32a5-457c-a8cf-78e9f7d3dbbc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Remember: <em>Tiling Shell<\/em> lets you create and save multiple layouts. You are <em>not<\/em> limited to four basic corners or two side-by-side.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Wondering why these options aren\u2019t bound to a window control button, as similar tiling features on Windows 11, macOS, and Chrome OS are? GNOME limitations make that a competent compromise and is still easy to access.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>A flurry of fixes are also included, one improving the colour detection for the (optional) blur effect introduction in the previous update \u2013 bling buffs always welcome in my book!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Assuming it can resize to the selected size.
