I like to snap my windows in GNOME to one side of the display or the other and to snap them into one of the corners of the display. I can do this by dragging the window using the mouse or by pressing the Super key with a direction key.

I had done this for years. But recently, every time I drag any window to the edge of my display and let it snap into position, I immediately then get a window switcher popup, basically the same popup I'd see if I were switching windows by pressing the Alt and Tab keys.

How can I stop this popup from appearing after I snap a window?

In case it helps, I use Tiling Assistant together with Just Perfection (the latter is used to put the panel with the clock to the bottom of the display).

The window switcher popup appears to be opened by the "Gnome extension Tiling Assistant" which you have installed ... So, either disable/remove Tiling Assistant altogether or go to its options and disable Tiling Popup-->Open after tiling a window:

Should you get to this question after the update to ubuntu 23.10. In 'Settings' under 'Ubuntu Desktop' there is a 'Enhanced Tiling' option that can be switched off: enter image description here

For completeness, here's how to do it from the command line:

gnome-extensions disable tiling-assistant@ubuntu.com

On Ubuntu 24.04 at least, tiling will then be handled by Mutter, which doesn't have that feature.

Mutter's edge-tiling feature should be enabled by default, however if by any chance it turns out to be disabled:

dconf write /org/gnome/mutter/edge-tiling true
