Tiling Shell v18.0 adds right-click mouse tiling, GNOME 51 support

Tiling Shell v18.0 is now available for GNOME 45 through 51. The update adds an optional right-mouse-button activation method for window tiling, similar to PowerToys FancyZones on Windows: hold left button to drag, then right button to trigger layout zones. The release also fixes fractional scaling UI issues, adds a shortcut to un-tile all windows at once, and introduces per-display options for the "raise together" behavior.

What's new in Tiling Shell v18.0

• Right-mouse-button tiling: Hold left button to drag window, then hold right button to display tiling zones; release left button to snap. Disabled by default, must be enabled in settings.
• GNOME 51 support: Extension now works with GNOME 45 through 51 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or newer).
• Fractional scaling fix: Snap assistant, menu, layout editor and other UI elements no longer appear oversized when fractional scaling is active.
• New shortcuts: Global shortcut to un-tile all windows from a layout simultaneously.
• Workspace and display options: Toggle whether layout changes apply per-workspace or globally; optional "raise together" can be limited to current display only.

Why it matters

The right-mouse-button option lowers the barrier for users migrating from Windows PowerToys, while the fractional scaling fix addresses a common pain point for HiDPI users on GNOME. The per-workspace and per-display controls give power users more predictable multi-monitor behavior.
