Description Juho of Consumerium.org 2021-09-30 16:11:23 UTC

SUMMARY
Feature request for multi-display setups: possibility to isolate a display for a moment in order to use full set of window resizing mouse gestures in every display

The payoff of this kind of feature would be that it is quick to make 1/1, 1/4 and 1/2 screen arrangements of windows quickly with the "rub window against a side or a corner of a display" in every display in multi-display setups.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach multiple displays arrange them like you want 

OBSERVED RESULT

If another display continues from some side or corner or top, that side or corner or top of screen is unavailable for triggering window resizing gestures.


EXPECTED RESULT

It would be really nice to be able to use the handy window resizing gestures for 1/1, 1/4 and 1/2 in all displays.

Hmm, seems unlikely I'm afraid.

Indeed, so unlikely that I don't think we'll be doing it, sorry.
