• OMG Ubuntu ☛ Tiling Shell Adds Option to Show Border Around Focused Window

  All keybindings accessible from one place

  If you read this site regularly you’ll know I’m a big fan of Tiling Shell, a slick, interactive, and highly-configurable window snapping add-on for GNOME Shell.

  Well, this week this terrific tiling tool got a new update (which also adds support for GNOME 47, coming in Ubuntu 24.10).

  The previous release added yet another way to tile windows quickly, so this uplift adds a couple of smaller changes that, I feel, make the nifty Windows Snap Assistant-inspired even more compelling for fans of “real” tiling window manager.

  Tiling Shell 13 introduces support for drawing a border inside the focused app window.
