- New: It is now possible to have a different layout for each workspace. With this addition you can now select your favorite layout for each workspace of each monitor. Closes #137 #153 #118 #47 (one of the most requested feature, isn't it? 😄)
perworkspacelayout.mp4
- New: You can choose a key to be pressed to deactivate the tiling system while moving a window. Pretty useful if you prefer the tiling system always on (i.e. without activation key) but sometimes you want to move a window without using the tiling system. Closes #164 #141 #130
- New: When you export layouts or settings, the file chooser now comes with the name pre-filled.
- Fix: Improved reliability of windows borders. Closes #171

v12 Release Notes
- New: Right-click on a window to use the auto-tile buttons and the snap assistant from there! Closes #74 and #77. The auto-tile buttons allow you to tile to the leftmost or rightmost empty tile, based on your selected layout. The "Move to best tile" button suggests tiling to the nearest empty tile to the center of the screen. This is something new in the GNOME ecosystem, especially considering how the layout and tile buttons are drawn: feel free to share your thoughts and ideas by opening a new issue!
Check the demonstration video to see it in action!
Screencast.from.2024-07-13.18-21-57.webm
The original idea was to show the snap assistant when hovering the maximize button (as it is done on Windows 11). Unfortunately, GNOME doesn't let us handle the hovering of the maximize button or add another button near it...
- New: keybindings for moving/tile windows now consider other monitors too, so you can move and tile the window from one monitor to another. Closes #73
- New: auto-resize now works when resizing with window-action key. Closes #76
- Fix: Keybindings for moving windows accross the tiles are more precise
- Fix: Snap assistant, with blur enabled, had wrong colors on light themes (left picture). Now it has the right transparency and colors (right picture)
- Fix: in some edge-cases the indicator was showing the monitors with a wrong order. Closes #92
