Shortcut to group windows of current workspace

grossherr opened this issue · comments

It would be super nice to have a shortcut that groups the windows of the current workspace.

Often you have your windows already in a nice layout, but to group them – as there is no other possibility than your great extension, as far as I know at least – you have to start dragging them again.

So it would be amazing to group the windows as they are on the workspace. Either making this only work if the windows are not overlapping, so basically already are in a "groupable" layout. Or having a fallback for sorting and placing them into a group, if they are overlapping, e.g. in a not layout not ready for a group. Personally I think the first option is more than enough.

Not sure if that's in the realm of this plugin. It's definitely a feature request. I thought it would be really amazing to have that, so here is my suggestion.

Great extension, keep up the work!

Just want to add that there should also be the option to group windows on current monitor for multi monitor setups.
