Feature-request: auto-tile in the next available space #112

Open peey opened 4 years ago

User story: I have open a note-taking app as a full-window, I have a file navigator open on top in left half of the window, and right-half of the window is empty.

I want to click on a file and open it in the right half of the window. Then I could close it, open another file from the file manager, and it too opens in the right half of the window.

Currently, it'll open by default and I'm supposed to tile it correctly.

This is just minor, but wondering if this could be within the scope of this extension?

A similar feature is available in another shell-extension - auto tiling in pop shell. But they lack features this extension offers like multiple groups of tiled windows.
