The biggest difference vs. the built-in snapping is that when you move one window, all of the other windows move in relation to that window based on the layout algorithm you choose, and when you add a new window to the workspace, all of the other windows rearrange in relation to that new window, etc.
In this way, it’s very similar to Linux tiling window managers like bspwm
and i3
, which allow you to arrange your desktop on-the-fly using only keyboard shortcuts.
If you’ve ever seen some of the cool window managers on communities like !unixporn@lemmy.world, you should know that you can achieve a similar workflow on Windows too!
If you see links that you find interesting, throw them into kulli.sh, and you get back a consolidated comment feed of every Lemmy community it is being discussed in. You can take a look at the kind of comments and discussions in different communities and see if there are any that have the sort of vibe that you’re looking for and then go ahead and subscribe!
This is exactly what I needed for the desktop!
I initially tried it when I first switched to Windows, but as I mentioned in another comment, it lacks the ability to automatically (re)arrange the windows on the screen in response to events like new windows opening, windows minimizing or being closed, etc.
