Tiling Shell v8.0 | Customize activation keys and share layouts

• New: You can choose between CTRL, ALT and SUPER to activate the tiling system or span multiple tiles. Closes #20

• New: share your layouts with others and import layouts!

• New: dropped version number in favor of version-name. Old shell versions will still rely on version number, but the extension will always follow the version-name

• Fixed: layout editor's menu is now available from the indicator button even if the extension indicator was disabled. Closes #18

⭐ This update of Tiling Shell is available on GSE too!

How to install

• For GNOME Shell versions 45 and 46: tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip
• For GNOME Shell versions from 42 to 44: GNOME.42-44.tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip

To know your GNOME Shell version, run gnome-shell --version.

Extract the downloaded archive. Copy its content to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com directory. You need to reload GNOME Shell afterwards (e.g. by logging out). Then you can enable the extension:
