Focus window to the right / left / below / above not working

[tflori]

Describe the bug
I bound super + wasd to navigate the windows but even though I was able to define them (there where not bound to something else) there are not doing anything

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Extension Settings
2. Click on View and Customize all the Shortcuts
3. Scroll down to Focus window to the right
4. Click on "Set new Accelerator"
5. Set an unused keybinding
6. Arrange two windows next to each other
7. Activate the window to the left
8. Press the keybinding you set in step 5
9. the window to the right does not get focus

Screenshots
These is my keybindings configuration:

Information (please complete the following):

• Tiling Shell version: 14.1
• GNOME version: 46

I hope I'm not just miss understanding the functionality of this hotkey.

Hey thank you for opening this issue! I tried to reproduce the problem. On my system these hotkeys are already bound to something by default (e.g. SUPER + S opens the overview) and unfortunately I cannot test them. However, the functionality is working correctly if I bind SUPER + WIN + RIGHT / LEFT / UP / DOWN. So, I'm not able to reproduce the problem, I'm afraid. Do you have the same problem if you bind other hotkeys?

hm I've installed it on another notebook now and have the same issue - or maybe it is really doing something else?

update: seems to be another extension. I disabled everything else and restarted gnome-shell now it works - I will try extension by extension and come back if I found out which it is

[tflori]

turns out it is a good idea to restart gnome-shell after disabling an extension. back at my office notebook and it works after a fresh boot without changing anything...

[domferr]

That's great!

[tflori]

oh I have it again. it might have to do with suspending or changing the desktop layout (plug / unplug a monitor).

here is the current output of journalctl -b|grep tilingshell https://0x0.st/XdbP.txt

I will try reproducing with a fresh session now.

reconnecting the display does not cause the issue but lock/unlock the screen does. the log does not show much difference after logging out and back in:

this log includes all tests (unplugging the monitor too) and to disable / re-enable the extension didn't work either.

[tflori]

I just verified that this also happens when I disable all other extensions.

[jonestristand]

I am also having this issue, even with other extensions disabled. No action happens at all when using the assigned focus accelerators.

Hey guys, quick update for you! It turns out there is a bug in Tiling Shell, isn't it? 😄

The good news is that a bugfix is ready and will be shipped with the next update soon 🔜
