Gnome Shell window snap to quarters of screen

I love the window snap feature of the Gnome 3 shell. However, it only allows you to maximize windows or to snap to the left or right half of the screen. Is there a way to snap to quarters of the screen? Maybe some shell extension I’m unaware of?

Method 1

There are several extensions on the GNOME extensions site which can give you various modes of “snapping” your windows. One that works particularly well is gTile.

Method 2

See shelltile.

It’s a neat little extension that allows the corner snapping, as well as other very useful features.

Method 3

I suggest the extension Put Window.

It has many customization options, ability to modify hot keys, etc.. Similar to all extensions it can be installed and activated at extensions.gnome.org
