Tactile - tiling window placement extension
Tactile - tiling window placement extension
My usual workflow involves quite a good deal of side-by-side windows:
For each "thing" I'm working on, viewing, doing, I use a separate desktop w/ all the required windows in there. For example when coding, for each project I usually have got an Emacs window, a Firefox window, often a Nautiuls window and occasionally an Alacirtty window open.
Managing that kind of window placement has always been a hassle for me. The default snap-to-edge in Gnome works quite well but is limited.
That's until I found out about Tactile a few days ago: it's a Gnome Shell extension that helps you place windows in a configurable tile set.
I've been using it for a couple of days now and it has really upped my workflow substantially. Here's a shout out to the developer š
- Practical and smart idea
- Stable implementation
- Easy to use - gets out of your way
- Reasonably configurable
Definitely worth trying out ā
