Great application for managing windows in ChromeOS. It took a bit of configuration at first (the shortcut keys in the extension options page) but it was well worth it afterwards.

This is truly great, though two small bits of feedback keep it from being fabulous:
(*) Dragging the final tab of the window into another window often becomes tricky since the remaining windows will resize as the dragged tab attaches to the new window, only to separate again when the windows resize. One fix would be to avoid window resizing when the pointer is performing a drag.

(*) docking to an external screen tends to be pain since there's no way to reevaluate screen geometry short of disabling and reenabling the extension. A keyboard shortcut binding to toggle the extension on and off would be extremely useful.

Works great ! when I remember what I need to press.

(UX feedback): The keyboard shortcuts take a while getting used to, and me not being used to them makes it harder to start using the extension, which made me disable it at work where I usually have multiple displays and running into snags and friction is more likley and more frustrating.

Any chance we can get an options menu to pop out with all the "commands" on a key shortcut (a chrome tile palette menu if you want to think about it that way) , will all the possible chrometile commands and their shortcuts listed?

I use Amethyst on macOS and am so delighted to (a) have found this WM for ChromeOS and (b) discovered that it works REALLY well. Thank you! BTW, I recorded a short video demonstrating its use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wurUJniyaKk

For someone used to tiling windows managers (I use i3), this extensions is a must. It is Amazing!

The setup is quite small, and it suggests keyboard shortcuts that will not conflict with other Chrome OS shortcuts. You do not need to set them all up, which is also convenient if you do not use all of them. And yes, it has shortcuts for changing focus, moving windows and switching what display the window is in!

The layouts are predefined, but are quite convenient for my use (3 vertical windows). There are also shortcuts to modify the size of a screen, so you could modify the layouts to your liking.

This is a solid extension and quite happy to find it for Chrome OS!
