Can't move tabs between windows in Chrome. #173

Open mwm opened 7 years ago

Chrome has a nice feature that lets you move tabs from one window to another by dragging the tab between windows. This clashes with tiled window managers like spectrwm, but I've been able to work around it in xmonad by manually floating the window then moving the tab.

This doesn't work in spectrwm. As soon as the tab starts moving, the window it's in gets tiled.

When it gets tiled you can untile it with mod-t. Not sure we can do this without adding a quirk.

As noted, untiling the window works in xmonad but not spectrwm. As soon as I start moving the tab, the spectrwm tiles the window again. I can move the window with mod-Button1, but then the tab won't go into the target window.
