- andybak 3y agoSpecific to snapping, you'd prefer there was no way to snap windows at all - even if it didn't affect the current behaviour?
- dubcanada 3y agoI've honestly never cared enough about it, I am perfectly fine with my windows haphazardly thrown around. But I can understand that some people like it and wouldn't really care if it was added. But I certainly won't be the one to request it.
- karmakaze 3y agoSame. I have Rectangle and others installed previously and very rarely use them. Double-clicking corners to expand in that direction only is good enough for me and wish Windows would do that. My layouts intentionally overlap windows with some horizontal/vertical staggering and window managers don't have shortcuts for that.
- latexr 3y agoThere is snapping. It’s been there for years. All you have to do is drag a window to a side or the top. While I’m not the person you asked, I would prefer if there was no window snapping at all. I wrote my own code for window management with keyboard shortcuts on macOS and dislike that it tries to be smart when I move windows with the mouse.
- tgv 3y agoMe too, but that's also because Windows' version is ... weird. I drag a window up, a pop up appears showing grids where I can put my window (nice), I drop it there, and suddenly another window appears. That doesn't fit the "snap window" flow. On the mac, I use a freeware thingy (Rectangle, linked elsewhere), and I've assigned three shortcuts, and that's enough for me.
- superchroma 3y agoYou can turn the selection and forced snap of other windows off, and I do.
- amelius 3y agoIt's still bad though. I mean, what if you didn't like it?
