Feature Request: 1x2 Tiles (side-by-side two-window tiling) #847

@coygeek

Description

@coygeek

Feature Request

Add a 1x2 Tiles action under Multiple Windows, alongside the existing 2x2 Tiles and 2x3 Tiles.

What it would do

A single shortcut that tiles the two most recent windows side by side — left half and right half — just like 2x2 Tiles does for four windows in quadrants.

Why

Left Half and Right Half already exist as individual actions, but tiling two windows currently requires two separate shortcut presses (one per window). A dedicated 1x2 Tiles shortcut would do it in one keystroke — matching the UX of 2x2 and 2x3 Tiles, which already handle multiple windows atomically.

For anyone who primarily works with two windows side by side, this would likely become the most-used shortcut in the app.

Prior requests

This has been requested before (#28, rxhanson/Rectangle#507) but remains unimplemented. Filing fresh to surface continued demand.

Summary

Existing Requested
2x2 Tiles (4 windows, 2 cols × 2 rows) 1x2 Tiles (2 windows, 2 cols × 1 row)
2x3 Tiles (6 windows, 2 cols × 3 rows)

Thanks for a great app!
