Dock on inner/outer edges for dual screen setup. #705

Open bartoszek opened 6 years ago

bartoszek commented 6 years ago

Hi, It would be a nice feature to have, for someone with dula view setup, to place docks on outer/inner edges of the screens. My pitch for this feature. dash-to-dock-pitch

micheleg commented 6 years ago

I totally understand the point. I think it could be indeed integrated as an "outer edge" option (not sure about the inner case).

Have a look at this branch, I quickly tried to hack together this feature (with no settings) yet, and the heuristic to identify the monitor positions might need some re-thoughts.

Could you test it and see if there's any bug or improvements?

Seems to works fine, on my system. Thanks for quick response. Notice some misbehavior:

I presume they are results of a quick, bodged implementation of the feature ;)

micheleg commented 6 years ago

Yes, I hard-coded the behavior as a proof of concept. I think from my quick test I also noticed some issue with the show app buttons menu on the right side dock.

:+1: from me. I'd love to see that feature as well.

That feature would really help me too 👍

Hi, This is the killer feature I'm looking for! Any chances of reviving it? Thanks
