Re-assign Drag Snapping Configurations

[plasmatech8]

I was thinking it would be nice to be able to re-assign the drag areas (and/or create custom snap areas for each area).

I have a super-ultrawide monitor. I like using window dragging to the bottom of the screen to snap to thirds - however the middle third is just a bit too small for me.

I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to:

• Re-assign bottom-snapping to 25/50/25 snap areas instead of thirds
  • (or modify existing thirds to custom sizes like 30/40/30)
• Re-assign corner-snapping to [12.5]/50/25 eighths instead of quarters
  • (or modify existing quarters to custom sizes like [15]/40/30)

Is this possible?

also was thinking about re-assigning top-snap to center-half instead of maximize, because it is a bit wide on a super ultra-wide.

There is not a way to do this at the moment. Ideally, this would be something configurable in the UI, which is kind of a large task and why I haven't gotten around to it. If anyone wants to give it a go, I have no reason to turn down a good PR for it.

I saw on another snapping app that their suggestion for UW monitors is "thirds, with a somewhat bigger middle third". I came looking for this feature because it's a good solution. On a UW, equal thirds is a bit too small for a typical "do stuff in the middle third, observe result in right third, reference material or terminal window in left third" arrangement. But any arrangement not based on a 3x1 grid is wrong for UW, having the main thing be the middle thing is what makes UW great.

I'm sorry I can't recall which snap app came up with "slightly bigger middle third", it may even have been one of the Windows ones.

Is there a place I would start for implementing this?

Start with CompoundSnapArea where you can see the existing snap areas that have multiple areas for an edge.
