windows snap feature for ubuntu?

[princeofnam]

i will often have to work with two windows at the same time. unfortunately i lack another monitor and having two workspaces doesn't necessarily allow you to view two things at the same time. is there a way to snap windows in the way windows 7 does when you drag it to the edge?

[princeofnam]

or even better. a keyboard shortcut.

If you use Compiz (desktop effects), then this feature is available through the "Snapping Windows" and "Wobbly Windows" plugins.

oh i see. but it doesn't automatically resize the window to half the screen. am i missing that feature?

[princeofnam]

oh. i noticed this functionality was in the grid function. but, what is the kp5 button?

I would also like to know if this is possible. I am not sure it can be used with the "Desktop Cube" option enabled however.
