This is a fork of paulswartz/gnome-shell-grid, with added support for multiple monitors and multiple panels.

While I like many of the new features in GNOME Shell, I missed the Grid plugin from Compiz. I liked getting to tile some windows without the overhead of a tiling WM. gnome-shell-grid runs in the background, listening for the following keys:

• C-M-S-u or C-M-KP_7 -- Top Left corner
• C-M-S-k or C-M-KP_8 -- Top half
• C-M-S-i or C-M-KP_9 -- Top Right corner
• C-M-S-l or C-M-KP_6 -- Right half
• C-M-S-m or C-M-KP_3 -- Bottom right corner
• C-M-S-j or C-M-KP_2 -- Bottom half
• C-M-S-n or C-M-KP_1 -- Bottom left corner
• C-M-S-h or C-M-KP_4 -- Left half
• C-M-KP_5 -- Full screen

To setup panels, edit Opts.panels. The default is:

panels = [
    {'top': 24, 'bottom': 24},  # monitor 0
    {'top': 24},                # monitor 1
]

 sudo apt-get install python-xlib python-wnck

 sudo yum install gnome-python2-libwnck python-xlib

 git clone git://github.com/acleone/gnome-shell-grid.git

 python gnome-shell-grid/gnome_shell_grid.py

For ubuntu: Open 'Startup Applications' and add a new entry:

Name: gnome-shell-grid
Command: python /path/to/gnome_shell_grid.py
