Even Windows has had a basic level of built-in window tiling functionality for a decade now. You can resize windows to half or a quarter of the screen either with keyboard shortcuts or dragging the window to a side or corner. It works pretty well.
- smhenderson 7y agoTiling and cascading Windows was available in Win 3.0. And it was available to MDI apps all that time as well so a lot longer than a decade.
- furgooswft13 7y agoTiling was all that was available in Win 1.0! Absolute best tiling WM for your 286.
- joombaga 7y agoTiling horizontally or vertically are unfortunately gone in Windows 10. In Windows 7 (or Vista?) it was removed from the taskbar entry context menu, but you could still do it from Task Manager.
- agumonkey 7y agoyeah I was a bit shocked to finally understand the purpose of that feature 20 years after the fact
- agumonkey 7y agowindow snaping IIRC, which is to me, the most interesting UI idea MS had since win95. It is damn intuitive and efficient.
- Lewton 7y agoSay I want one window to take up all vertical space on the left third of the screen and another to take up the other two thirds, is there a way to do this without me having to manually resize both windows? I switch between i3 at home and windows at work and that’s one of the things I really miss Another thing I miss is having a detached window permanently on top
- krilly 7y agoThere's probably a better way but I would put a window in each half using winkey+arrows and then drag the center divider to resize them both at once.
- Lewton 7y agoHmmm Dragging the center divider doesn’t work in my use case (detached eclipse console window on one side) I have to resize both windows manually to be clear: it works as expected with two browser windows, it’s the type of window eclipse creates when you detach a view that windows doesn’t seem to like
