I recently updated my Ubuntu desktop to the latest 23.10. Among the changes, the super+arrow keybinding that moves a focused window to the left, to the right, minimizes or maximizes, shows me a panel of running programs, e.g. Firefox, file explorer, Thunderbird, to select so that it tiles together with that program. Let's say I super-left Firefox to align to the left, then Ubuntu presents me to select Thunderbird or some other program to be aligned to the right of the screen. I can escape the selection with the esc key, however, I'd rather not have this feature at all. It isn't helpful and instead of having one effective keybinding, I also have to respond to it with another. Super+arrow should only align the window and no further action needs to be specified. Is there any way I could disable this feature?

Please, run the Extensions (gnome-extensions-app) application and disable Ubuntu Tiling Assistant (under the Built-In section).
Instead of disabling this extension, you can just go to the Settings of this extension and disable Open after tiling a window (under Tiling Popup section).
If this does not help, please follow my comment above: Go to Gnome Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Windows and remove any non-default customizations.

It's a setting in the Ubuntu (Gnome) settings app:
Ubuntu Desktop > Enhanced Tiling > Tiling Popup (disable this option)
You won't need gnome-extensions or other special things like command line magic.
