[FeatureRequest] Setting to add delay before "key to hold for tiling" hotkey takes effect #121

At least in Ubuntu, the Super hotkey is frequently used to "grab" windows (hold Super when initiating a click and drag on a window to move it around without having to grab the titlebar). Using Super as the key to hold for ShellTile'ing seems like a pretty efficient use of this hotkey, but it means that anytime you grab a window by holding Super, you immediately jump into shell tiling mode. ShellTiling, though incredibly useful, makes up a small fraction of my typical window management (in those rare cases it's a godsend, and thank you for it!), so it's a bit jarring to have to always wait for the ShellTile behavior to time out after releasing Super before I can use the default window edge snapping.

It would be awesome if we could set a small delay before the shell tiling kicks in so that we can briefly hold Super to grab a window and continue using the default window edge snapping, or hold Super during the entire drag event to use ShellTile tiling.

Thanks again for this awesome extension!
