The Large Display Paradox
- dkersten 17y agoOn Windows, I also use GridMove, which works reasonably well. On linux, I use a full blown tiling window manager[1] (and have been doing so for about a year) and, compared to this, even GridMove seems painful. I cant imagine moving back to a traditional window manager now. ... wasting time sizing, moving, and z-ordering windows, users only need to deal with one maximized window at a time ... This problem is completely elliminated when using a tiling window manager. [1] http://aerosuidae.net/musca/Musca_Window_Manager http://aerosuidae.net/musca/Musca_Window_Manager
- wanderr 17y agoWindows 7 helps with this a bit, Win+Arrow key to snap a window to the left or right side of the screen evenly. Press the arrow key again if you have multiple monitors, and the window moves to the other monitor. This method is quite handy and I use it frequently, but ironically (in the context of this article) would be far more useful if my 1920 pixel wide monitors were just a bit bigger. 960 pixels often ends up being not quite wide enough for my purposes, so I can't just run with a 50/50 split.
