(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kwm Version: 1.1 (KDE 2.1 Beta 1 >= 20001213) Severity: wishlist Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) OS: Linux 2.2.16 i686 (SuSE) I know I can left-click on the maximise button for full screen right-click for maximum width and middle-click for maximum height - a wonderful setup ;-) Hows about (say) right-click on right hand window border maximising window to left-hand edge of the screen - similarly for right top and bottom - even for top-left etc. Could go even further with middle-click working similarly but stoping at first dektop icon - maybe that's only a good idea for me with my icons arranged arounn the edges of my screen - or stopping to but up to nearest window or edge of screen whichever comes first. With CRTs getting larger (I'm on a 19" @ 1280x1024) I find I'm no longer using the full maximise option anymore. You could go completely to town and make how these function configurable (i.e. set the maximum maximised window size!) - Just a few thoughts for a later release of KDE (2.3 / 2.4?). - Cheers - Alan

#55674 also requests keyboard shortcuts for this.
Keyboard shortcuts are done for KDE3.2. I'll consider the mouse clicks.

Hello, what will be nice also to maximise the window is to double-click the border we want to maximise :) I hope my idea looks nice, however, thank you for your message Alan, I just learn the pretty and fully usefull feature: right and middle click the maximize button :) Bye.
I like this idea. Right- and middle-clicking the maximize button to "half-maximize" is kind of unintuitive. Which button does which? Double-clicking a border and having just that border expand to the edge of the screen (or, with a different click, move as far as it can without overlapping another window?) would be much more intuitive and useful.
Maximizing a window on multiple screens is no more a problem. Double click to maximize the window has been implemented since a lot of time. Maximize the window taking care of the icons on the desktop is probably not necessary anymore being kwin customizable in order to set the maximum size of windows. I think this bug can be considered closed.
