Aero Snap function?

[gotsanity]

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?

Im hot on trail for a possible solution however it may take me some time. I know we can detect x11 input events using C++ however my code knowledge isnt quite that advanced. Basicly all we need to do is run the following pseudocode:

if X11InputEvent.clicked = true {
   execute resize command;
} else {
  // do nothing
}

I am aiming at just creating a single script that will house all the commands so we are not looking at the word salad that we posted before. Something like windowcheck.sh --maximize

I will work more on it tommorow since its my day off

well, I think i may have found the solution but I dont know enough about shell scripting to figure out the new issue I am having. If you know anything about shell scripting please take a look at the following code and help me debug it.

#!/bin/sh

if [ xinput --query-state 11 | grep down ] then
        wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
else
        exit 1
fi

the xinput line needs to be set to the id of your mouse (just run "xinput list" to find it out)

I actually like the mouse cursor resizing windows. I have a wide screen display 1920x1080 so the mouse does not wander to the extreme left or right often.
If you use snap to stack your windows on the left half of the screen.
By clicking on the top of each window in turn and moving your mouse to the right - you can flip through them like the pages of a book.
Quicker to use the window switcher I suppose. Thank you all for this - it's a great addition.

This all just should be a option in the menu... Because alot people want to use it. Hopefully Compiz just find a solution to add this nice feature in the next release of Compiz.

hey guys, I can't get it working...here is my xinput

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_0.3M id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]


I tried ids of 12, 13, 14 but nada. Also, this is a Dell laptop with both the touchpad and the little keyboard knob dealy. not sure if that matters. I used the code as supplied in an earlier post and didn't change anything. What gives?

Thanks!

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.

i use compiz's grid alongside easystroke (a mouse gestures application)

it works better than the original aero snap to be honest, as i don't have to actually move the window, i just paint a line towards where i want it to go.

i also liked it better than the idea suggested on the posts before mine (i have tried that one as well)
