Windows Snap-To

When I have several programs running, and I want to use one as a reference for the other, it means I have 2 options.
1) Switch between them in the taskbar a whole lot
or 2) Try to align them myself on the screen.
If, when dragging a window around, you had an option to 'snap to' the edges of
the screen, and other menus, you could easily make a quick alignment. Same thing with resizing.
This would have made my day yesterday.

I guess, and it is only a guess, that Macs do this already. |

Macs don't... but it would be an interesting function. |

What you might try is using "alt-tab" to switch between applications. Not a perfect solution, but faster than mousing down to the taskbar! |
|
| |
Adobe programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and ImageReady, do this with their own mini windows. |
|

I'm not much of a computer guy but I just tried this and I think it is what you wanted. |

Open however many windows you want. Then go into the taskbar at the bottom and right click. Ther is an option to tile vertically or horizonally. Is that close? |

One of my friends sits at his comp with three viewable screens, they all have diff info on them wich he uses to play games, do work or...reference. |
|
| |
Yeah, what [NotTheSharpestSpoon] said. Minimize all the other windows but the ones you want, right-click in the taskbar and select a tile option. |
|
| |
Or use Alt+Escape to switch between windows. If you hold down the Alt key with your left thumb, you can tap Escape with a finger and cycle through windows fast enough to get persistence of vision. |

I can already do this in KDE. |
