Window snapping

[Diax170]

This is a low priority workflow enhancement idea.

There would be option(s) to have floating windows snap to the borders of other tiled windows, floating windows or workspace borders (preferably taking misc shells/bars into account). Hyprland already has this.

Option suggestions (very similar to Hyprland's options):

• snap_window_gap <positive int>: the minimum gap (aka sensitivity) in pixels between window borders to snap. If set to 0, windows don't snap to other windows. 0 by default
• snap_workspace_gap <positive int>: the minimum gap between the window border and workspace border to snap. If set to 0, windows don't snap to workspace borders. 0 by default
• snap_respect_gaps_outer <bool>: if true, snapping to workspace borders respects the gaps outer setting. false by default
• snap_respect_gaps_inner <bool>: if true, snapping to window border respects the gaps inner setting. false by default
• snap_border_overlap <bool>: if true, windows snap in a way so there's only one border's worth of space between them (so their borders overlap). false by default

I think this request is not important enough to put it in an issue so it's in a discussion

Thanks. This could happen. Let's give it a cool down period in case someone has more ideas.

OK, nobody added any input. I added this in 4d44264.

Thank you!

I've noticed that windows don't snap to top/bottom (for horiz layout) or left/right (for vertical layout) borders of tiled windows. Is this intentional?

Too much copyng/pasting, sorry. It should be fixed in 84087c3. Thank you!
