What about... 9️⃣ quadrants? 😁

When your mouse pointer is in one of these quadrants and you start moving it while holding the specified modifier keys for resizing:

• 1️⃣ Resize from the top-left corner
• 2️⃣ Increase the window's height by extending the top area (preserving the width)
• 3️⃣ Resize from the top-right corner
• 4️⃣ Increase the window's width by extending the left area (preserving the height)
• 5️⃣ (the center of the window):
  • When you move your mouse up or down, the window height increases or decreases in both directions (but the width is preserved)
  • When you move your mouse right or left, the window width increases or decreases in both directions (but the height is preserved)

(And the rest is self-explanatory)

What do you think?

This matches functionality in most Linux floating window managers, and AltSnap on windows

Really? I didn't even know! 😆

@roelvangils that's fair, I was lazy to implement it like that at the first try.

But honestly I've just wrote your description to ChatGPT with my code attached and it made all the changes (and it works, first try 🥳)

I'll make a PR now with the new changes. BTW how did you create that animation? I'd love to showcase it in swiftshift.app, and I would love a light background alternative too 🌝

Amazing! Yes, these are the things LLMs are so good at..

Just installed the update. Works like a charm! 😻

I used Apple Keynote for that. Your website already looks quite nice, but feel free to use it! Or, let me know which background and/or colors you prefer, and I'll create a nicer version of the animation (including dark and light modes) as a way to thank you for implementing my feature request.

I'm glad!

lol that's awesome, I've never thought about using it for animations. I might give it a try. If you feel like doing it, just do something that makes sense for the style of swiftshift.app, even tho the design is all over the place right now 😅

[pablopunk]

I ended up creating the animations with Figma and they turned out ok

Not really showcasing the 9 quadrants but it's good enough

[roelvangils]

That looks great! Sorry for not following up on my suggestion to create it for you! Time.... 😉

@roelvangils no worries! I'm also struggling to find time for this project 😓
