Topic: suggestion / question

It seams to me that the windows 7 "snap" feature could be implemented in #!?  I guess a biger proportion og folks here have multiple windows open at a time, then is the case with MS win users?

Snap is  basically a simple way to align the open windows next to eachother. - kind of like eneble/disable light tiling.

I know this is possible with compiz and gnome - but how about openbox?

Just and idea - that I dont know how to implent :-)

Re: suggestion / question

I guess it's already implemented.. you can drag a window against another window and you get a little resistance to the edge for about 8 pixels. Or do you mean dragging it to the top maximizes it?

Meh. Interested for a Dropbox alternative? Go to https://launchpad.net/tart

Re: suggestion / question

if you mean the top maximizes, side maximizes to half screen, etc, there are ways to do it, using screen corners. I will try to find the thread on it later when i have more time, if you need it.

just call me...

Re: suggestion / question

Keyboard shortcuts for snapping to sides:

And for top and bottom:

    <keybind key="W-Up">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MaximizeHorz"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <height>489</height>
      </action>
      <action name="MoveToEdgeNorth"/>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-Down">
      <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
      <action name="MaximizeHorz"/>
      <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <height>489</height>
      </action>
      <action name="MoveToEdgeSouth"/>
    </keybind>

And again, adjust the numbers to suit your resolution and setup.
