OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Tiling Shell’s Latest Update Adds Blur Effect & Edge Tiling</p><p>It might seem like I’m a bit obsessed with Tiling Shell, the super-charged window snapping extension for GNOME Shell (which works beautifully in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and above). Because this is my 3rd article about it in less than a fortnight — but when the updates (and new features) are coming thick and fast, it’s hard to not want to talk about the additions! Tiling Shell v10 hit the GNOME Extensions website yesterday (if you have the extension installed already you’ll get the update automatically) with a number of improvements. First, the flashy addition: experimental blur: When you trigger a :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/EyeCandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EyeCandy</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GnomeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/TilingShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TilingShell</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/WindowSnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowSnapping</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/tiling-shell-update-blur-edge-tiling" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/tiling</span><span class="invisible">-shell-update-blur-edge-tiling</span></a></p>

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Tiling Shell Update Adds New Keyboard Shortcuts + More</p><p>Tiling Shell, the Windows 11-esque window snapping extension I spotlighted last week received an update at the weekend, adding enhancements I feel are worthy of mention. This includes a request to support snapping windows in the active tiling layout using the keyboard only. Because though the slide-in drop-over Snap Assistant widget makes Tiling Shell mightily intuitive for pointer-led users (such as myself), there are times when moving/re-ordering tiled windows without taking your hands of the keyboard is preferred. And this is now possible in the Tiling Shell v9.x update. Like other tiling window managers/extensions, you can move an active window :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/AppUpdates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AppUpdates</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GnomeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/TilingShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TilingShell</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/WindowSnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowSnapping</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/tiling-shell-extension-adds-new-keyboard-shortcuts" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/tiling</span><span class="invisible">-shell-extension-adds-new-keyboard-shortcuts</span></a></p>
OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Super Charged Window Snapping with Tiling Shell on Ubuntu</p><p>If you’re looking for a more powerful and configurable window tiling experience on Ubuntu look no further than Tiling Shell, a new GNOME Shell extension which super-charges window snapping. Last year, Ubuntu improved its window tiling capabilities by making the ‘Tiling Assistant’ GNOME Shell extension part of the default desktop install. Enabled out-of-the-box, this offers quarter tiling, horizontal half-tiling, and a time-saving tiling prompt to snap other open apps. This welcome addition to the Ubuntu desktop fulfilled a long-requested feature from users, and the feature is something I used daily. Yes, past-tense. I’ve disabled Ubuntu’s Tiling Assistant and now use :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GnomeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/WindowSnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowSnapping</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/super-charge-window-w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/super-</span><span class="invisible">charge-window-w</span></a></p>
OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Ubuntu 22.04 Fixes Window Snapping Memory Bug</p><p>Users of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS who make use of window snapping to enhance their productivity will be interested in a bug fixes coming down the update pipes shortly. The Mutter 42.9 update currently in Jammy’s proposed repo contains a fix for high memory and lagginess when resizing side-by-side tiled windows. Given that Ubuntu 22.04 only supports vertical side-by-side window tiling — the upcoming Ubuntu 23.10 supports quarter tiling out-of-the-box — this is likely to be a bug that has affected many users. I was interested to see if this bug was reproducible on any of my 22.04 installs.

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Ubuntu 23.10 Adds Support for Window Quarter Tiling</p><p>Improved window tiling just landed in Ubuntu 23.10. If you’re a regular reader you’ll be aware that this was coming, as I revealed earlier this year that Ubuntu developers planned to make the Tiling Assistant GNOME extension as part of the default install. That extension is now part of the default install in the latest Ubuntu 23.10 daily builds. So what does this provide? Well, in current versions of Ubuntu when you drag a window to either side of your screen you’re able to “snap” it to 50% of the horizontal space, allowing you to view two apps side-by-side.

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>How to Test Ubuntu Budgie’s Improved Window Snapping Feature</p><p>An improved window tiling experience is being primed for inclusion in the the next stable release of Ubuntu Budgie, which is due out in April. Developers of this Ubuntu flavour have shared word on work they’re doing to bring the edge tiling experience — or window snapping, if you prefer — up to par with that offered by the distro’s existing keyboard-driven Window Shuffler too. The proposed approach, which is being made available for testing on earlier versions of the distro, will be familiar to anyone who’s used a recent version of Windows.

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>‘Useless Gaps’ Adjusts Space Between Snapped Windows in GNOME Shell</p><p>Do you want the aesthetics of i3-gaps but without the i3 bit? If so, that’s exactly what the wryly titled ‘Useless Gaps’ GNOME extension gives you. The dev says of their creation that it adds “useless gaps around tiled and maximized windows”. This is similar to the sort of look you get with a tiling-window manager (like i3-gaps, AwesomeWM, etc), but inside of GNOME Shell. The ‘Useless Gaps’ extension is designed for GNOME 40 and up. It will work on older versions of GNOME Shell (I used it on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) but, as is the case with many modern :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Download" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Download</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Gaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaps</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GnomeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeExtensions</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/WindowSnapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowSnapping</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/12/adjust-snapped-window-gaps-in-gnome-shell" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/12/adjust</span><span class="invisible">-snapped-window-gaps-in-gnome-shell</span></a></p>
