Forge is a GNOME Shell extension that adds i3/sway-style tree-based tiling window management to GNOME on X11 and Wayland. It offers vim-like keybindings, drag-and-drop tiling, floating windows, smart gaps, and customizable shortcuts.
Use cases
- tile windows in GNOME like i3 or sway
- manage windows with vim-style keyboard shortcuts
- get tree-based split tiling on GNOME Shell
- drag and drop windows into tiled layouts
- use tiling per workspace on GNOME
- resize and swap windows via keyboard on Linux
When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell on Linux and want i3-like tiling without switching window managers
- you want keyboard-driven window management with vim keybindings
- you need tiling on both X11 and Wayland within GNOME
When to avoid
- you need dynamic workspaces or vertical monitor setups
- you are not running GNOME Shell
- you want a project with an active maintainer, since Forge is seeking a new maintainer
