GNOME extension that snaps the window to a portion of the screen

This is a simple GNOME extension I wrote for fun, as an exercise.

• CTRL+ALT+1 snaps the current focused window to the first third of the screen.
• CTRL+ALT+2 snaps the current focused window to the second third of the screen.
• CTRL+ALT+3 snaps the current focused window to the third third of the screen.

I later discovered an already existing extension which serves the same purpose, but is much more advanced: https://github.com/sunwxg/gnome-shell-extension-arrangeWindows
