Which DE will give me window "snapping" like windows?
define window "snapping" like windows
drag an application of any window size to the edge of the screen and it snaps to 1/2 the screen
>>54420266
Win 7 or win 8 snapping?
Because I am pretty sure most WMs already do W7
>>54420266
MATE offers exactly that.
XFCE can also snap windows to half the screen, but I don't know whether or not it can be activated by drag.
xfce 4.12 can do this
xubuntu finally ships with it
>>54420266
Cinnamon has that
Tiling WM masterrace
>>54420217
cinnamon.
>>54420304
it can
also fullscreen if pointer draggind window hits the top and 1/4 if upper left/right corners
>>54420304
>>54420305
>>54420313
How about Super+Left/Right/Up/Down? What offers that support out of the box?
I've given up on snapping using the mouse half of the time because of multimonitor and I hate the sticky monitor thing that Ubuntu has last time I used it, glad you can turn it off.
Xfce masterrace

>>54420380
thanks but ive been using arch and gentoo for 5 years with awesomewm and im ready for a change.
to everyone else thanks, i guess i can pick any of the big name ones
>>54420359
yes. i just tried it and im running stock cinnamon with themes
>>54420266
Doesn't Unity also do this?
>>54420396
>and im ready for a change.
Then try out xmonad. It's really flexible and lets you do everything you ever wanted your WM to do. (Assuming you know how to program Haskell)
I use it in binary space partitioning mode, shit's super useful.
Gnome does this
>>54420217
Sticky windows is the first thing I enable in XFCE4. I can't live without it.
>>54420339
I'm running mint cinnamon and it will re-size windows with super+dirrection, double clicking the top of a window toggles full screen as well as super+up;up. Multiple workspaces and the multimonitor support is excellent, workspaces can be assigned to monitors, passing applications between workspaces is also flash af, applications can bridge workspaces although I disable that because it's a pain.
Application windows can be set to snap tile with the mouse which I'm sure is nice but don't use.
Look up the cinnamon showcase on youtube or something if you want a demo.

hi tyler
>>54420396
What don't you like about it? I personally can't see myself using a floating WM anytime soon.
>>54420339
>Super+Left/Right/Up/Down
i was qurios and tried in defaut xubuntu 1604
it is possible and easy to set up its just not behavior by default
in Xfce open Settings > Window manager > keyboard
edit Maximize /mapped to alt+f7/
edit Minimize /mapped to alt+f9/
>scroll bellow the middle
edit place window ieft / reght /not mapped/
done
I think every major DE does this
>>54420534
good to know I have options thanks
>>54420406
Suck my cock Tyler
WMs which do this:
KDE
Gnome
MATE
XFCE
LXDE unfortunately does not do mouse based window snapping. I would be using LXDE if it did.
>>54420217
Unity and gnome
KDE Plasma does this.
>>54420266
KDE also confirmed for having that.
Pretty sure Linux DEs had that before Windows did.
>>54420396
>5 years with awesomewm
Stick with awesomewm, anon. It's the best wm out there.
>>54420396
A full DE is pretty comfy
>>54420217
Why snap when you can W W W WOBBBBLLLLEEEEEE
>>54420266
>>54420217
cinnamon, unity (can be configured for 1/4th snap), gnome, kde (also configurable) openbox if you write a script for keyboards snapping , xfce , lxde (with the openbox script).
Also all tilling wms
>>54423168
oh and everything that can work with compiz i believe.
>>54421569
i guess you are right but you could add a few rules in the rc.xml to tile windows manually
>>54420406
leave it to Tyler and his 1366x768 shitbook to censor his name
>>54420217
most of them do it, but they all have their shitty bugs which make me jump from one to another
>gnome is laggy as fuck and begs to not be customized
>cinnamon is laggy as fuck and can't even move windows while playing a video
>mate is getting deprecated because of gtk2, gtk3 is a buggy mess, screentearing ootb, can't even theme it properly for some reason
>xfce has screentearing ootp and compton sucks, have to force gpu to fix the tear, same theme problem
>kde plasma is an unstable abomination, crashes after 5 minutes of using it for the first time
>unity
Gnome 3 does snapping aswell by default
>>54423107
kek
>>54420380
you can do that with the keyboard too
>drag
stop pretending to be a retard
windows+arrowkeys snaps a window accordingly wherever you want it
>>54420406
>(0) /g/ - Which DE wi...
why does it display "0" new answers? what the fuck
fix your shit
Ob with obsnap from git
Just werks
In xfce windows are maximized when dragged to the upper edge, tiled to half screen when dragged to the side edges, and tiled to quarter screen when dragged to upper or lower side edges.
Probably it's also possible to set maximizing to half screen when dragging window to upper edge like you want.
>>54420217
This is a pretty ubiquitous feature amongst Linux DEs (in fact I think they pretty much all support it) and WMs (even something as small as JWM can do it these days).
