Window snapping
Window snapping
Hey guys, I've been running Mint on my home computer for a little while now and I'm having a great time, however there's one behaviour from Windows I'm missing. When you hit win + arrows to snap the currently focussed window to the left or right half of the screen, windows will present a dialogue to select a companion window for the other half of the screen from your other floating windows. Does anyone know how best to implement something like this? I tried a tiling WM like i3, but that's a bit more... involved than what I'm looking for. Thanks!

If you use the default cinnamon desktop on linux mint, theres an extension for it called gTile.

Not sure if it does what you want.
TBH I've always found the popup showing all the other windows when tiling in Windows to be annoying so I've never looked for it on Linux.
I've got this now, looks pretty cool, thanks! Gonna keep looking over the documentation, but I can't quite see the particular behaviour I'm looking for. It has the snapping (and better options than Win10), but I want to be presented with the list of other available windows for snapping on the other side.
