[32] - 2022-01-22

Added

• Added new keyboard shortcuts:

  • Toggle Vertical Maximization
  • Toggle Horizontal Maximization
  • Move Window to Center (#132)

• Allow one action to have multiple keyboard shortcuts (press Enter or Space when listening for a new keyboard shortcut to append shortcuts to existing ones)
• Added GNOME's native tiling behavior (Super+Up/Down/Left/Right) to the default shortcuts

Changed

• Adapt edge-tiling only if it doesn't cover existing tiles. Use Ctrl-drag (mouse) or the Tile Editing Mode (keyboard) to 'replace/cover' existing tiles. That way 1 window can be part of multiple tile groups
• Reworked tile group detection when a window is tiled
• Renamed Split Tiles mode to Adaptive Tiling. This is the mode when moving a window around while holding Ctrl
• Disabled grouping tiled windows in the app switcher by default and mark that setting as experimental

• Added a setting to group tileGroups in the AppSwitcher (altTab) and Tiling Popup
• When dnd-ing a window, hold Super to make the tile preview span multiple rectangles. This only works in the Favorite Layout or Split Tiles preview modes
