The release candidate for Tiling Shell v18.0 introduces full GNOME 50 support along with a right-click activation feature for faster window management. The maintainer has altered the update pipeline by releasing candidates on GitHub first, allowing users to test and validate their specific setups before official publication. Key updates include a workspace-wide untile shortcut, synchronized layout changes across virtual desktops, and fixes for lingering bugs such as Alt-Tab race conditions. The community is encouraged to actively participate in testing and reporting feedback to ensure stability before the extension is migrated to the official GNOME extensions site
Tiling Shell v18.0 RC Adds GNOME 50 Support and Right-Click Activation for Faster Tiling
The release candidate for Tiling Shell v18.0 just dropped with full GNOME 50 compatibility and a long-awaited right-click activation hook. The maintainer flipped the standard update pipeline by pushing release candidates to GitHub first, forcing users to validate their specific GNOME versions and monitor setups before upstream publication. New additions include a workspace-wide untile shortcut, synchronized layout propagation across virtual desktops, and hard patches for lingering signal leaks and Alt-Tab race conditions. The extension will only migrate to extensions.gnome.org once enough community confirmations prove it does not tear up existing window management pipelines.
