Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources It would be nice if KDE would resize and position windows based upon predictable user drag actions. I propose that when a window be dragged to these locations, the following actions happen: 1) Top of screen: Window gets maximized 2) Bottom of screen: Window gets minimized 3) Right side of screen: Window is maximized vertically, and takes up the right half of the screen 4) Left side of screen: Window is maximized vertically, and takes up the left half of the screen Visual clue could indicate what is about to happen.
Changed the product to KWin.
Thanks. I thought that kwin only applied to KDE 3.x.
Apparently Windows 7 will have something similar to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_originating_in_Windows_7#Window_management_mouse_gestures
I agree with this wish. Is it possible to implement in KDE the same bahavior that in Windows Seven AeroSnap ? That are the functionality of AeroSnap: When we move a windows the the left side of the screen, the windows is resized to occupy the half left side of the screen. Same thing for the right. And when we move a windows to the top of the screen, it is maximized. For this three action, if you move again the windows, it is restored in the same place and position that before moving. Two videos that explain this behaviour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbsnbjkrWus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS7a0xDwvlM I think it is very useful, especially the action with the left/right side of the screen. Thanks.
Definitely very useful and only becoming more so as widescreen monitors become more popular. (There's a reason books have aspect ratio they do. It becomes difficult for the eye to keep track of which line to jump to next when page width gets excessive.)
Implemented in KDE 4.4. Thanks!
