XFCE's Window Manager app has built-in shortcuts for "Tile window to the top", "Tile window to the bottom-right", etc. I've got my number pad (will never buy a laptop without one
) mapped so Win + 7 puts a window in the top left, etc.
It also has a bunch for moving windows to other workspaces, switching workspaces, etc.
The two things it DOESN'T have that I need are:
- Move window to the next monitor.
- Tile window to the right third of screen, the left two-thirds of the screen etc. On a 1920 screen I can comfortably fit two columns of code with the right third free for a terminal or my browser's dev tools, but I have to manually drag them there.
There are a couple of CLI tools that are really handy here -
xdotool and
wmctrl. I found
this script earlier that solves the first of my issues, and I've been working on a script for the second but it gets really tricky trying to account for taskbars - mostly just because I'm godawful at Bash.
