Exit tiling screen with escape or clicking elsewhere #207

Open tflori opened 4 days ago

tflori commented 4 days ago

Describe the bug Honestly I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature. When you snap a window into a tile and a tile next to it has no window and there are windows that could fill the tile you get the "tiling screen" where you can chose for one of the tiles which app should be moved to this tile. Now I would naturally press escape because something happened that I didn't initialize and it is kind of blocking me from continuing. But even clicking on the tile outside of any window does not do anything. The only way to close it without choosing a window is by pressing super (win) to open the activity view.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open two apps
  2. Tile one to a tile

Information (please complete the following):

Please keep in mind that adding a configuration for a key will most like cause issues if you want to bind escape (the dialog closes with escape).

Hey thank you for sharing this! That is a new feature coming soon in Tiling Shell. It will be possible to enable and disable it from the preferences. I see you are using your git branch and maybe you pulled the latest changes of branch v15.0 and you are seeing that popup! The feature is not yet complete and what is missing is the ability to close that popup by pressing ESC. The only way to close it is to press outside a tile, but it seems it's not working to you :|

You can have a look at issue #62 to know more about this feature! Meanwhile, I'm gonna push to branch v15.0 some code to allow pressing ESC key to close the popup. I'm back to you in minutes

Hey @tflori I just pushed a commit to allow pressing ESC to close the tiling popup. Let me know if that works for you! Hope to implement soon the ability to enable/disable this feature from the preferences

works as expected. yes, I'm on the branch from jesse with the fix for the focus keybindings. it was rebased on 15.1

whats the plan for the release? will it include #195 ?

I guess we can close that then as it is no bug of the stable version...
