[Feature Request] Add a key-binding to untile a window. #83
Comments
Hey @qukhan thank you for sharing this idea! I think it makes sense, which default keybinding you think would be a good one? |
I'm not sure. I don't know if it's intended but my current setup has Meta + ↑ maximize the window when it can't go up anymore. So I'd say having Meta + ↓ untile the window when it can't go down anymore would feel the most intuitive. |
I vote against tying it to But also, I think there's already a solution to this without tweaking There's a keyboard shortcut in the GNOME settings called 'Toggle fullscreen mode' that's disabled by default. You could set that to e.g. (also, There's also a 'Toggle maximization State' one. https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-shortcuts-set.html.en (under the section 'Windows') Edit: I realize now that my response is maybe not a direct response to the feature request. |
Yeah @thyttan, SUPER + ↓ is already used for so many things. @qukhan idea may work, however if you press SUPER + ↓, and the window cannot be tiled on its monitor and you have a monitor below, Tiling Shell will move the window to the other monitor I'm curious about the needs of this feature: if one wants to untile with keyboard because he/she doesn't want to use the mouse to do it, then after the window is untiled I believe that person would use the mouse to move the window... 😄 I believe that defining the ideal use case and reasons behind this feature would automatically tell us the right keybindings 😉 |
If the debate is about what key to set by default, I don't have a preference. I generally don't work in maximized windows (for plenty of possible reasons: the app layout isn't convenient for large screens, I want to see some other app interface in the background, I want the app to be in a specific part of the screen, I tiled the window by mistake, etc). When I need to put two windows side by side, I tile them, do what I have to do, then close the one that isn't used anymore and un-tile the first one so that it moves back to its original position.
Didn't this already work with the default Gnome shortcut Super + Shift + ↓? I've been using that and it works well. The behaviour you described however doesn't seem to work (I'm guessing it will in the next version). |
I would suggest |
Hey guys, here we go! This is going to be released with the next update of Tiling Shell. If you want to try it in advance and give some feedback, I leave here the files. Enjoy!

Describe the feature you'd like
We have key bindings to tile windows but we don't have one to do the reverse operation. It would be nice to avoid having to reach out to get the mouse just to untile a window.
