[Feature request] Ability to span multiple tiles with shortcuts too #45

It would be cool to be able to do what you can do now with CTRL + ALT + mouse but without mouse (maybe SUPER + ALT + Arrows?).

If for example I have layout like this (screenshot) and I want 2 windows side by side, now I have to expand right window down with mouse, even if I used ex-Gnome shortcuts SUPER + Arrows to place left window

WDYT?

Hey! Thank you for your suggestion! Since this extension extends GNOME's default shortcuts SUPER + Arrows I think it would be cool to implement your idea! Something like this: if you selected ALT as a key for spanning multiple tiles, then you can use SUPER + ALT + Arrows to span the focused window (instead of moving it).
