Consider implementing openbox window snapping
This is a common feature in every desktop environment. Look a this.
Thanks for this suggestion @wesbluemarine, I would add this immediately if the patched version was available in FreeBSD packages.
Another option would be https://github.com/mcz/openbox/, it also seems to implement Aero Snap like functionality:
-Areo snap (in the tiling branch). There are still some imprecisions in
the pointer location when unsnapping windows, but all in all it's pretty
much done.
For this some things in rc.xml are changed:
-Two new Actions are added, "Tile" and "Untile".
Tile take an argument "direction" which can be either one of the 8
cardinal directions, wither in full (Northwest, South) or abbreviated
(nw, s).
-In the mouse section, a new setting was added, "screenEdgeAction".
It can be set to None, Warp, or Snap. If not set, it defaults to Warp.
screenEdgeWarpTime was renamed to screenEdgeActionTime since it applies
to both Warping and Snapping.
Unfortunately, this version is not in FreeBSD Packages.
Thanks makaba on IRC for pointing toward https://github.com/mcz/openbox/.
