Hi Mikhail,
It's very encouraging to see you working on such a tiling extension!
It's clear to me that our users want such features.

Something that we've been asked more and more is also screen splitting
for the phone, which could use similar infrastructure but a slightly
different behaviour since yours seems mainly based on keyboard
interaction.

Good luck!
