Description Jan Rüegg 2011-10-20 06:47:54 UTC 
I think it would be very handy to have window snapping to corners, like you have in KDE, for example. I could really use that a lot, especially since screens sizes are getting bigger and bigger.

If you hold shift while moving a window, it snaps to corners.
Comment 2 Jan Rüegg 2015-02-08 12:41:47 UTC 
Sorry, I was not very clear about it. I mean, when you drag a window to the left or right side of the screen, it snaps and automatically fills half of the screen. So you can easily put two windows side by side.

However, it would be nice to do it (as in KDE) also for corners, so when you move it to a corner, it would fill one quarter of the screen from that corner on. So you could put four windows easily beside each other, or two on top of each other and a third, high one to the left or right...
