vibou.gtile's Issues

click and drag

Right now I have to click once, then move the mouse and click again to choose the size. It would be really nice if I could click and drag instead.

Portrait monitor is considered landscape

As you can see in the gTile screenshot

the gTile UI spawns to the right of my secondary monitor which is portrait
the topmost left cell isn't at the corner of my screen

Since I can't reach the bottom of the screen either but windows stretch to the right outside of the visible area it feels like gTile detects the screen as portrait.

Fyi: My primary monitor is the same size, but landscape.
I'm using the nvidia tool to set my screen layout, because that's scriptable and I'm able to overlay/cover monitors.
Gnome screenlayout (wrong)
Nvidia screenlayout (correct)
randr screenlayout (correct)

If you need any further information please let me know. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to the point in code where I might be able to try a fix myself.

Keyboard shortcuts

It would be very nice if keyboard shortcuts could be implemented. CTRL + ALT + NP[number] like the Grid plugin for Compiz would be awesome, but something as simple as bringing up the tile menu for the active window would already help a lot.

Please update for 3.8

I don't know if this requires any changes, but it is not listed as compatible with 3.8 on extensions.gnome.org

Dual monitor problem (on second monitor there is always empty space on top of the screen)

Dual monitor problem.
On second monitor there is no visible top bar, but this space always stays empty. Screenshot attached https://goo.gl/9r8o6c

GNOME 3.20 support

Is an update to support 3.20 coming?

2 suggestions

Thanks for gTile. I have a 2 suggestions :
1- Keyboard only way to send a window to a specific tile. (for example I want to divide screen into 4 tiles, each can have a number and a shortcut. Or alternatively super-space then choose the tile with arrow keys). Arranging windows without mouse is one of the main goal of tiling wm's.

2- Allow irregular tiles.

Thanks for this nice extension and keep up the good work.
ilker.

Remember the tiling size

Remember the tiling size (2x2; 3x2; 4x4; 6x6).

I (almost) always use 6x6, it is kinda disturbing to change it every time.

hotkeys for specific tile position

how can I set hotkey's to accomplish the following:

super+alt+right: tiling active window to the right 2/3 of the screen
super+alt+left : tiling active window to the left 2/3 of the screen

super+ctlr+right: tiling active window to the right 1/3 of the screen
super+ctlr+left: tiling active window to the left 1/3 of the screen

which would be dope ;)

Bottom panel height ignored

When bottom panel is visible (often showing the notification and tabs showing all the windows open) the height of the bottom panel is never considered.
In some cases (firefox, terminal emulator) it sticks underneath the bottom panel having to manually adjust.
I would suggest that there should be an option for user to adjust or automatically take that into consideration.

Ignore Titlebar Height

Great extension! I've been using for a few hours now and I couldn't be happier.

One problem I've faced though is I'm using gTile with the Hide top bar extension and was hoping there would be a way to tell gTile to ignore the top bar height. Right now when I tile something not maximized, gTile accounts for the top bar being there and my desktop shows through.

Other than that great work! I'm so happy it's working on 3.18.

gnome-terminal has gap when tiling

When using gTile to position a gnome-terminal there is a gap between the edges of the tile and the edge of the window. This does not happen when tiling other programs.

running gnome 3.18 on gentoo

gTile crashes when handling a Google Chrome windows

Every time I try to tile a Google Chrome windows gTile, and the entire Gnome Shell, crashes to the point that I have to exit X11.

gTile don't count the pannel's height in when I hide the panel.

With the "Panel Setting" extension installed... gTile fails to calculate that space.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/208/panel-settings/

Ubuntu 12.04 gnome-shell v3.4.1

Tiling sometimes applied to a part of the screen (e.g. upper half)

I haven't been able to figure out when this happens. Disabling and reenabling the extension helps.

Please make gTile compatible with recent GnomeShell 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 12.10.

Currently, gTile does not run on the GnomeShell version 3.6.2.
The gTile extension is great and very helpful for any serious GnomeShell user. Unfortunately, on extensions.gnome.org, the gTile extension is greyed out for the recent GnomeShell versions and also manual installation does not work.

Please update the version to run also on GnomeShell versions higher than 3.6.1 (this seems to be the highest number in the sources). Thank you very much in advance

My system: Gnome Shell 3.6.2-0ubuntu0.2, Ubuntu 12.10.

Some other user reports on not successful installations here: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/

Thanks!

Resizing after snap to edge with mouse

hi,

I am the developer of "put window" extension (https://github.com/negesti/gnome-shell-extensions-negesti).
Because of my bug http://tinyurl.com/bu7pyv7 i tried your extension to see how you have fixed this problem.

If you use gnome-shell feature to "tile" windows with the mouse e.g. move it to an edge metawindow.resize will not work and the window does not change:

focusMetaWindow.resize(true,areaWidth-vBorderX,areaHeight-vBorderY);

For a details description of the behaviour check my issue (the link to gnome-shell-list)

regards

Please update for GS 3.6

As the title reads

add usage hint

would be nice to have some hint about how to use it in the readme/description. I eventually figured this out but I wouldn't have if I hadn't failed to get started with other extensions doing the same.

St.Table is depreciated

I tired to get this to run on Gnome 3.18.1 by updating the metadata and quickly ran into bugs getting this to launch. From lg:

St.Table is not a constructor

Looks like maybe the layout used is depreciated?

projecthamster/hamster-shell-extension#96

This thread seems to have some more details, but still, fixing it looks like it might require porting to a new layout API.

Loading on startup results in a javascript error

I get this in syslog on startup:

JS ERROR: TypeError: launcher is null
hideTiling@/home/susurrus/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gTile@vibou/extension.js:529
_onFocus@/home/susurrus/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/gTile@vibou/extension.js:469

The extension (actually all of my extensions) then fail to load. I'm running GNOME 3.22.3 on Fedora 25.

Any chances for GNOME 3.10 support?

I'm not even asking about GNOME 3.12

Gnome 3.8.1 compatibility

Hello Vibou, thank you for your great extension.

I just upgraded to Shell 3.8.1 and your extension does not work.
Here is the crashlog:

    JS ERROR: !!!   WARNING: 'assignment to undeclared variable monitorIdx'

Default 'Super+Space' keyboard shortcut interferes with ibus

Ubuntu GNOME 16.10

The Super+Space keyboard shortcut is already taken by ibus (and has been since ~2013) so it does not work. Please choose a different default keyboard shortcut.

Option to hide icon in top bar

It would be nice to have a option in extension preferences to disable the icon in the top bar.

Please merge pull request

There are three open pull requests that only change metadata.
Please merge one of them.

Randomly Doesn't Work

I encounter a issue daily on Arch + Gnome 3.20 + gTile where the hotkey I set Super + G will not yield the dialog to tile the window.

Opening Gnome Tweak and turning off gTile and on gTile solves the problem.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way I can collect debug data to help locate the problem?

Make compatible with panel extensions

This seems like a great plugin, any chance you could make it compatible with plugins that manipulate the position of the panel, such as dash-to-panel:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/

Keybinding to display not working

Using the default SUPER + Space and others I cannot get gTile to pop up.

Running Fedora 20 with Gnome 3.10.2

tiled window out of screen in gnome 3.4

I'm not sure about solution, so I post it as issue.

Original padding is broken

x = x - borderX;
y = y - borderY;

width = width - vBorderX;
height = height - vBorderY ;

So, I tried different variants and replaced it with

function move_resize_window(metaWindow,x,y,width,height)
{
    let borderX,borderY,vBorderX,vBorderY;
    [borderX,borderY] = this._getInvisibleBorderPadding(metaWindow);
    [vBorderX,vBorderY] = this._getVisibleBorderPadding(metaWindow);

    width = width - vBorderX;
    height = height - vBorderY;

Maybe we need an option for user in preference dialog, so user may switch between different padding methods.

Please make compatible with GNOME Shell 3.24

GNOME Shell 3.23.90 on Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Beta

GNOME Shell 3.24 now uses mozjs38 (SpiderMonkey 38) which has stricter syntax rules.

Test Case

Run gnome-shell-extension-prefs
Click the gear button next to gTile.

The output is

Request for Improved auto tiling function in ultrawide environments.

I have a 21:9 (3440x1440) monitor and when I use the auto tile function to tile one main app on the side and the rest on the other side I have an issue.

i'd like this:

Instead of this:

Thanks.

Temporary lock up when moving/resizing window

I experience a temporary lock up quite often with a few windows on Fedora 24. Recently I have seen this with Firefox and ScudCloud. The lock up can last anywhere from a few seconds to 20 seconds. The mouse is still usable, but I am unable to interact with gnome or any windows (keyboard or otherwise). The gTile screen is showing during this time with the desired tiles selected.

I do have a multi-monitor setup so this may be related to #47. Also, this may be related to #20 but I am not getting a crash.

Feature Request: Window Margins

I love this extension. It really improves my life.

What would be really cool is to have an option for window margins. When I was on the Mac using Divvy I could set a 10px margin around the windows so they were not so close to each other and the screen sides. I enjoyed the look since I have four large screens. It's also nice to actually see my background wallpaper. ;-)

Autotiling

The two Autotiling modes are half / half now.

I find 2/3 1/3 a more natural division. (On the width, not necessarily on height). One possibility (but maybe not the most intuïtive) would be to "choose" the division size on the selected tiling size.

2x2 would divide half/half in height and width
3x2 would divide 2/3;1/3 in width, and half/half in height
4x4 would do half/half again (or maybe half / half in width, 1/4 in height -- depending on how many windows should be tiled)
6x6 would divide 2/3;1/3 in width

Problem is that I don't see a general way to 'calculate' this on arbitrary (new) tiling sizes...

A bug (or an inconvenience)

Hi there,
In Gnome when workspace thumbnails is set to always visible gTile doesn't consider that.
When it is set to always visible the width of the workable are shrinks from right hand side.

I will try to edit the code for my own use but perhaps an easy solution could be to allow use to set an offset (from the right or left) in settings so user can set the workable area.
best,
ilker.

Any idea when 3.14 will be supported?

Want you to know... this extension makes my life better.

GNOME 3.24 Configuration dialog error

Setup is GNOME 3.24 Ubuntu 17.04.

When clicking on Configuration in GNOME Tweak Tool:

TypeError: redeclaration of formal parameter iter

Stack trace:

Multiple panel icons

When I enable and disable app his icon remain on panel.
Each time app is enabled and disable a new icon remain on panel (sea image)

Beside this, short-cut does not work.

auto-tiling modes with a "main" grid cell behave poorly on a portrait monitor.

In portrait mode, it makes sense to rotate the auto-tiling layouts. IE, if you'd divide the screen in half left/right for a landscape monitor, on portrait it should divide in half top/bottom.

I use 2 monitors, one in portrait, one in landscape :)

Compability with GNOME 3.4

GNOME 3.4 has already come out. I really love this extension and hope that it can support GNOME 3.4.

Tiling below bottom panel

When using the Mint Bottom Panel Extension (from the webupd8team ppa), gTile will tile windows all the way to the base of the screen, ignoring the fact that the bottom panel is there. This means that parts of windows are covered up. Maximised windows do not go under/over the panel, so I assume the problem is using a wrong value to measure where the tiles should be, rather than the bottom panel not changing the apparent desktop size.

Resolution Change

gTile sets the resolution size according to the resoltion when it's enabled.

Eg: If I enable gTile while I'm at 1080p and then switch to 2160p to do work it will think of the desktop area as only 1080 and tile in the top left corner

As seen in this Screenshot my grid is set to 2x2

No Tooltips on blue icons

I've been experimenting to figure out what the bottom 4 blue buttons mean and do.

So far I deduce that
1 - Autoclose after resize
2 - ?
3 - Set this window as the main left window
4 - Tile All Windows 3 rows 2 columns

It seems like these buttons are sort of unnecessary it would be nice to have on/off boolean and tooltips on hover if possible.

Doesn't work for all applications?

I am actually on Cinnamon. But I noticed gTile doesn't work on all applications? I tried on afew applications and found:

Working on Chromium (except popup windows), VLC, Nautilus
NOT Working on Xournal, LibreOffice

Sometimes slow on multi monitor setup

First off, I really like this gnome addon, it's the best tiling thing out there. But unfortunately, I see some issues using it on my multi monitor setup. I got a 19201080 Laptop internal display, a 25601440 DP and another 1920*1080 (vertically) as my third display. Sometimes, when I use gtile and move a window from desktop 3 to 1, my whole Gnome Desktop freezes for 2-30 seconds until the resize is done. I had no time yet to look into the code but just wanted to report that. Anyone else having similar issues? I am on Fedora 24 btw with Gnome 3.20.2 on an Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) video card.
