[suggestion] better snapping to edges animation

  • try alt snapping an unresizable window like the "alt snap settings" and see what happens similar to https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/issues/167

  • is there a way to fix the janky snapping of WIndows 10 Explorer (and other apps, but mostly the explorer)? it just shows a lot of artifacts when trying to snap it with alt snap. Maybe you can somehow implement the smooth title bar snapping of windows to alt snap?

Point 1 is addressed by unchecking Resize all windows in the general tab. Static windows then fall back to the action move to next edge instead of resizing.

Point 2 could be dependent on your performance settings. Windows explorer is notoriously unresponsive.

Isn't it possible to make it look like windows snapping? When you touch an edge it won't snap immediately, it will show a preview like Windows does, and if released it will be there without showing the janky morphing.

Partial solution (as you said explorer is unresponsive and still shows some stuff, but it is still way better this way) you can add a toggle for people who like it and who don't

This is duplicate of #106

If you want to see a preview of snapped windows, I suggest you set FullWin=0 in the [Performance] section of the ini file. It will move a hollow rectangle and the window will only snap when releasing the click. You can also disable the "Show windows content while dradding" performance option in the Windows settings.
