Why don't you just use the quick tile feature (either mouse or global shortcut)? Also you can just middle click the maximize button to maximize the window vertically. My use case is making a window horizontally smaller which currently already is maximized; I do this quite often. (Using a maximized application and then I need to put some window containing some information next to it, so I first make the maximized window thinner to the desired width, keeping it vertically maximized, and then place the new window next to it or hope if opens next to it automatically thanks to the window placement strategy in effect.) Quick tile feature: Dragging the window against the screen border? Ok, this may be a better workaround, but it's still more work than just fetching and dragging the window border until I'm satisfied. (I have to drag the whole window and then still resize the window's width if I do not want it to be 50% of the screen.) I know maximization by right or middle-clicking and use it all the time, an invaluable feature! :-) |
