to the top of the screen and tiling a window when dragged to the left<br>
or right edge of the screen. Not sure why I find the first one more<br>
intuitive than double clicking the title bar or the window decoration<br>
button for it. Maybe it's that gross motion thing Chris mentioned.<br>
Just today, I came to dislike once again that the tiling does not work<br>
on the inner edges in a dual screen setup. Though, it is possible that<br>
I would change my mind if it worked and it would trigger all the time.<br>
Anyway, it is achievable with Win-key+Left/Right.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, I am not so keen on maximizing a window in only one<br>
direction (vertically or horizontally) if I drag an edge of the window<br>
to the edge of the screen. Windows has that for the vertical<br>
direction.<br>
<br>
But I cannot remember the last time I wanted to maximize a<br>
SystemWindow in Squeak... usually I find screen space to be more<br>
precious (scarce?) here because there is no web browser or dedicated<br>
text editor window, but rather a plethora of smaller windows floating<br>
around, each of them preferably only one click away. And I like to<br>
spare a hole somewhere to access the world menu... Maybe these habits<br>
are also a result of the lack of an Alt+Tab or Exposé like feature by<br>
default.<br>
