So does ... to a windows's resize border. Have they/do they plan to implement a similar thing for resize where instead you can drag to any ~20% of the side (with a modifier)?
- paranoidxprod 3y agoThis is actually similar to how I use Hyprland Super + Left Click lets me drag a tiled window to a different location, while Super + Right Click lets me drag to resize. I usually do both with my keyboard but it's nice to have the option.
- eviks 3y agoCan you do holdKey + Drag to resize (especially useful for touchpads)?
- paranoidxprod 3y agoYeah, I hold Super and drag Right Click to resize
- eviks 3y agoI meant without any clicks, that can be more convenient, especially with touchpads
- troyvit 3y agoKDE does this too, and I'd be non-functional without it. Grabbable window decorations seem a thing of the past.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 3y agoI've seen me try to do this on Windows so often when I run into a Windows machine. I disable the title bar on most of my things anyways so I need the key.
- zozbot234 3y agoThis is a big deal if you want to use common Linux desktops in pure "tablet" mode, with no keyboard or mouse attached. You can move windows easily enough by grabbing the header bar, but there's no equivalent for resizing. You can of course rely on full-screen or half-screen tiled windows, but it's a big UX downgrade compared to using a mouse and/or keyboard. (Mind you, a tablet PC running Linux will nonetheless be vastly more productive than even an iPad. But still.)
- eviks 3y agoHaven't heard of great UI solutions here, though it might be better to have some customizable gesture for window management trigger, after which you can do the same as on a desktop holding a modifier: touch/drag from window center area to move touch/drag ~20-30% of window's sides/corners to resize in that direction
