Make window arrangement easier (tiling, snap to edge, or so)

[denismaier]

I think it would be nice if window management would be a bit easier in the Pharo Development Environment. I can see a couple of possible improvements, new features:

• snap window to edge feature (like in Windows).
• auto-arrange all open windows
• support splitting the display area into multiple areas like with a tiling window manager

Looks promising but a) missing dependencies and b) should perhaps be more integrated into vanilla Pharo (or at least the option to install it should be more visible)?

Thats weird I installed it in a Pharo 9 image, changed the refs for Matrix to Array2D and it works fine, then submitted a PR. Which dependencies are missing?

And no, it shouldnt be integrated but maybe shown on the awesome pharo list.

oh, I'll change that. But it should definitely be on the awesome list. Too hard to find these things otherwise. And I think it's pretty essential in an IDE
