IDEA: drag window to edge automatically resizes it

<< < (144/146) > >>

Hi jgpaiva, I just wanted to confirm that I was able to reproduce the issue AxCrusik mention in his post.

Below is a screenshot to illustrate, note the black border between windows:

I think this isn't gridmove-specific, LG Screen Split also does this.

On both applications, it doesn't seem to affect all windows - depends on what application the window belongs to, but seems like the majority.

ycomp:
I guess that GridMove is not being developed anymore, but just in case i wanted to suggest a great feature.

One of the things I miss most from LG Screen Split, is the ability to swap windows. Would be great if GridMove could do that... let's say either by holding down shift when dragging, or going into a swap mode (say double tapping ctrl or something - not shift because that's used in IntelliJ IDEA)

swap mode meaning that if there is a window existing at the target location, then that window gets moved to the original location and size of the source window.

it's really great for re-organizing windows. I'd say download LG Screen Split to see what I mean but it works on LG monitors only I think.

an example, let's say you have 3 windows side by side.. and you drag the right one to the left zone, holding shift, then the window that was in the left zone moves to the right and the window from the right is now on the left.

ycomp:
This software is crazy sweet and works really well with grid move...

I prefer to disable the semi-conflicting options in it though, like middle click on title in it - because i often middle click the title with gridmove

anyhow, AltDrag is great at helping you move windows in place, when you are not grid-moving... I mean, you often move windows around with grid-move but then sometimes you just want to drag a window the regular way, and since you have so many nicely aligned windows courtesy of gridmove, you can easily "pop" a window into place because it is attracted to other windows edges or edges of the screen. As you can see, explanation is a bet messy but one you actually try it, you'll see what i mean.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the windows just slide into place easily... when moving or resizing

GridMove + altDrag = a killer combination, basically nothing else comes close. I tried most of window managers out there.

I was close to purchasing a more bloated program called aquasnap because it didn't allow this type of thing with secondary monitors unless you paid, but alt-drag works on multi-monitors, is small and unobtrusive and free.

@ycomp do you know any way to use Alt Drag one-handed?  I like the right click drag window resizing but I hate having to use two hands just because I have to hold down the Alt key.

It is not a big deal except when trying to eat while moving windows around and surfing the net etc..  I hate to have to put down my cinnamon roll because it will get the desktop sticky.  It is just awkward.  I am usually sitting in a library when WiFi-ing.. If I was in my own place that would be another matter.  :)

dunno, I guess you could set it to your middle mouse button if you don't use that for grid move (I do)

I just use the alt-drag application for automatic window snapping - making windows attracted to other windows and screen edges, it even snaps on resizing a window

I have auto snapping turned on in general tab in configuration and it seemed to work better for me when I turned on snapping in the advanced tab as well.
