# 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:
```bash
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/ledbettj/simple-tile.git SimpleTile@weirdhorse.party
```
Activate:
```bash
gnome-extensions enable SimpleTile@weirdhorse.party
```
Use `Super+KeyPad` to move the focused window. For example,
`Super+KeyPad3` will move the focused window to the bottom right quadrant.
`Super+KeyPad` 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.
