Description

Had in mind something reminiscent of COSMIC's tiling system, whereby the first use of the `SUPER + [direction]` key spans a window into that tile, and then the second use actually moves it.

E.g. for a quarter tiling setup, where a window is in one quadrant, the first use of `SUPER + [direction]` would result in a window in one half of the screen (the origin quadrant plus the intended quadrant), the second use would result in a window just in the intended quadrant.

An optional setting to support this behavior would be nice!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the SUPER + direction shortcut handling and the existing tiling and settings entry points; trace how the current move operation selects a destination. Done means the optional behavior spans to the target tile on first use and moves directly there on the second use.
