Aero Snap function?

[Hund]

I would like to have a function like "Aero Snap" found in Windows.

Would be nice if Compipz had a plugin for this. But I cant find any info about it.

check out the grid plugin in compiz.
If you dont like having to use shortcuts for it, I guess its possible somehow to bind it to an edge binding in the commands plugin, but I havent figured that out yet.

Thx. Thats almous what I wanted.

I also would like to see the snap function built into compiz. Grid almost does what we are looking for but I would like to see it mouse based. Anyone know if it is even possible without some severe code hacking?

Also, on a side note the aero shake feature (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ryBmNrwqDo) is pretty sweet as well. I am sure that with enough hacking it could be done on linux as well.

This is great. I've used in on my Windows machine and I love that feature.

I worked out the snapping windows via mouse bit. I will post again in a moment with the tutorial.

Its a nice feature, though I prefer grid and Maximumize in compiz.
Especially with dual monitor aero snap is useless, as it only snaps to the left half on the left monitor and the right half on the right monitor

kubuntu has this by default

also it can have different icons and wallpaper on different desktops
Kwin is quite nice to it is basically Compiz for kde

I really like that, but I have one question: Is there a way to only activate the plugin at the time I really move a window to one of the sides of the desktop? The problem is that as soon as I move my mouse cursor to the left or the right (without having window selected) the currently active window resizes.

This is exactly the same problem that I'm having, and unfortunately its causing me to not use the Aero Snap function. Can anyone come up with a solution?
