Description Simone Gaiarin 2022-10-17 13:42:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
The tiling operation of a window on the "open" side of the screen next to another screen on a multi desktop configuration requires a pixel-precision. it would be nice to add a shortcut that (e.g. `Ctrl`) that if hold down creates a "virtual wall" that can be hit by the mouse to allow the same tiling behavior of the "closed" sides of the screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Configuration: two monitors side-by-side. Screen 1 is on the left, screen 2 on the right. 
1. Drag a window to screen 1 right side to tile it

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse overshoot and ends up in screen 2 without showing the tiling preview


EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse hits the side of screen 1 and the tiling preview is shown
