Add support for windows being dragged by holding down super key #20

Closed underdoeg closed 2 weeks ago

underdoeg commented 3 weeks ago

Currently tiling assistance only works when dragging windows from the title bar and not when holding the super key.

Awesome extension BTW

Hi, thank you for opening this issue! Are you referring to SUPER + ARROW KEY? For example, GNOME default's behavior, when you press SUPER + LEFT ARROW tiles the window to the left (following its default 2 columns)

Awesome extension BTW

Thank you, I'm glad you are enjoying it! Feel free to open a issue for sharing any idea or bug you may have :)

OP is talking about Gnomes default behaviour of being able to drag a window with the cursor in any location within the window whilst holding the super key.

i have already ulgraded to v8. but it looks like it is not working for me. i should be able to first drag the window with super key and then see the tiling options with ctrl key?

domferr commented 2 weeks ago

Hi @underdoeg, you can go to the extension preferences and choose SUPER as your preferred activation key for the tiling system. Then, you will be able activate the tiling options while moving a window and pressing SUPER key.

Ah I think we are talking about different things.

I tried to record it in a video. At first I drag the window "the normal way" by klicking on the header and dragging. The second time, I click anywhere in the window while holding super. That way I can also drag the window but the tiling extension does not appear.

Ops, yeah we are talking about different things! didn't know that it was possible to move windows in that way, thank you!

I've implemented it. You can click anywhere in the window while holding SUPER, starting to drag the window, then pressing the activation key will activate the tiling system. If you select SUPER as the activation key, the tiling system will immediately be activated when dragging the window.
