Resizing window when moving it to the side with the mouse

[johnmne]

Similar in "Windows 10" - when you drag a window to the left/right side of the screen, the window should be resized so that it fits to the left/right side of the screen (50%).
I don't even know how it's called..

How do you do that?

I think it was enabled once and somehow got disabled..

Using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I'm not certain, but google found this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/aero-snap-ubuntu-linux

You should be able to re-enable window snapping in the window manager section of unity-tweak-tool.
May have to install unity-tweak-tool.

Thanks guys.

I see in CCSM that "Snapping Windows" (under Window Management) is enabled.
But still I can't get windows to snap.

Also I noticed that a guest user can snap windows.

I assume that 'unity-tweak-tool' isn't different than CCSM in this regard so it won't do any better..

Edit:

I enabled the plugin "Grid" in CCSM and now it works !!

Thank you.

Edit: Fixed
You could reset compiz.

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
Log out.

Thanks for saying the "grid" was needed. THAT will really help others.
