Mosaic

Next-generation window management

Disclaimer

This extension is still very early software and is NOT ready for production use. It is still under active development. It will be made known when the extension will be ready for the first alpha release. As of right now, it is not recommended to be used in production, especially given the fast-changing nature of the codebase (as of right now).

Project Goals

• Make the user do as little window management as possible
• Increase productivity factor
• Tile the windows in the most efficient way possible
• Automatically manage workspaces
• More powerful tiling features for GNOME (like corner tiling)
