somewhere, an editor furiously Googling “mouse wrangler” ten minutes before the publishing deadline breathes a sigh of relief

i'm on a mac nowadays, but I used to use AquaSnap on windows

Hmm I’m not sure I follow, do you mean like snapping to the sides? This is built in with W+Left/Right

Sorry, I mean something liket his, but without me having to manually size windows: So snap to the bottom right corner, top right corner and snap something to the left

Im away from my desk and working on a single small laptop screen and trying to arrange windows constantly is a pain in the bum

I think it is best to try out the built in features in Windows first

you can snap to corners too

to get to a corner try windows+left, windows+up (upper left)

oh wow! Thank you! I had no idea you could do this!

Im normally on Linux, but my laptop is windows

Windows has become surprisingly linux-like in the last few years

in ways both good and bad lol

good in the sense that is much more flexible and bad in its rolling-releases constantly break things that used to work

Yeah, I saw a thing by Scott Hansleman recently talking up the new Windows Terminal, being able to have different panes in the terminal, resize them, break them horizontally / vertical etc. I was thinking this is great but I've had this ability in Terminator in linux for years...

and the hardware compatibility story has gotten worse

I like using tmux in WSL

ran in a cmd.exe window

but lots of people at my last job liked things like cmder and MobaXterm

I think windows file explorer is stll missing fundamental stuff, like splitting panes. I miss that a lot and end up using 3rd party file explorers

what do you usually use on linux for that?

I run Ubuntu, whatever file manager I run just has this built in. I don't remember adding any 3rd party stuff. It's just an option in the menu bar

I just use the Unity that comes with Ubuntu

oh I think that is gnome’s nautilus then

yep
