## What it is
gTile is a Gnome Shell extension that enhances window tiling by letting users move and resize windows on a configurable grid. It supports mouse and keyboard control, including customizable presets for instant window placement.

## Use cases
- tile windows on a grid in Gnome
- resize windows with keyboard shortcuts
- manage windows across multiple large monitors
- set up keyboard presets for window placement
- auto-tile and autogrow windows in Gnome Shell

## When to choose
- you use Gnome Shell and want better window tiling than stock behavior
- you work with multiple large monitors and need fast window arrangement
- you prefer keyboard-driven window management with customizable presets

## When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment other than Gnome
- you want a full tiling window manager rather than an extension
- you run an unsupported Gnome version (e.g., pre-45 without the rewrite)
