Tile Editing Mode

The Tile Editing Mode is a keyboard-driven mode to manage your tiled windows.

It can be entered with the keyboard shortcut from Preferences > Keybindings > General > Tile Editing Mode. You use the Tile Editing Mode with the following keys

• Direction keys: navigate focus. They are either WASD, hjkl, or the arrow keys.
• Ctrl + Direction key: swaps the highlighted window(s) when Ctrl is released.
• Shift + Direction key: moves the tile group to the monitor in the direction of the pressed direction key.
• Shift + Alt + Direction key: moves the tile group to the workspace in the direction of the pressed direction key.
• Super + Direction key: resizes the highlighted window. This follows GNOME's native resizing behavior. That means, if you resize on one side and then want to resize on the opposite side, you first need to go to a neighboring side of your current side before you can go to the opposite side. For instance, if you are currently resizing a window on the north side using the up and down direction keys and then want to resize on the south, you first need to go the west or east side with the left or right direction keys before you can use down to reach the South side.
• Q: quits the highlighted window.
• R: restores the highlighted window's original size.
• E: expands the highlighted window to fill the available space around it.
• C: cycles through the half-sized tiling states' of the highlighted window.
• Space: opens the Tiling Popup for the highlighted tile.
• Esc / Enter: leaves the Tile Editing Mode.
