Shell: Unable to move windows between monitors with external monitor and tiling enabled

[duboisf]

Here's an example where if tiling is enabled I can't use Shift+Super+Right to move the window to the right monitor (notice in the video that after I disable tiling it works):

I have the same issue. It's annoying to have to disable tiling, move the window and then enable tiling again.

My workaround in this case to move the window to the right monitor is to do Super+Return to enter adjustment mode then l or Right to move the window to the monitor to the right then Return to exit adjustment mode. A bit more keystrokes but it's been committed to muscle memory :slightly_smiling_face:.

Other than this little quirk, tiling mode has been absolutely fantastic!

My workaround this issue is:

1. Super + Y --> disable tiling
2. Super + Shift + [direction] --> move to monitor
3. Super + Y --> enable tiling

Preference just to be _step 2_
