Description Troy 2024-07-12 21:30:45 UTC 
SUMMARY
Add an option, per display, to snap vertically instead of horizontally.
I'd like to be able to snap two windows, on top of each other, on my vertical monitor, by dragging the window to the top or bottom of the screen. There's already a tiling option for "Windows dragged to the left or right edge", I'd like an equivalent for the top and bottom edges.

I'd really like the same thing - the option to rotate the current snap-points by 90° clockwise/counter-clockwise. Would make sense to default to On for Vertical monitors.
Using the "tiling" is a hacky solution that requires pressing 'Shift' just to move a window into the obvious snap location, and those tiles semi-permanently resize if you resize a window, as opposed to the usual snapping, which is always 50% (and it also has its own problems).
