Description
Tiling Assistant is great, thanks for building it!
- Fedora 42
- GNOME 48.4
- Tiling Assistant 53
I wasn't able to bind Super+Up to "Tile to top" in this extension. Super+Up was never accepted (no error message though). I did make sure to unmap Super+Up from the main GNOME keyboard shortcuts.
I had to use dconf-editor to manually write the keybind to get it to work.
At path /org/gnome/shell/extensions/tiling-assistant/tile-top-half, set the value to ['<Super>Up'].
This functions as expected, but the tiling assistant settings never renders the new keybinding. I was wondering if anyone knew what was broken / how to fix this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the binding in the Tiling Assistant settings and compare it with the dconf value at /org/gnome/shell/extensions/tiling-assistant/tile-top-half. Check why Super+Up is not accepted and why a manually written value is not rendered by the settings. Done means the binding can be configured in the settings and is displayed after being set.
