Feature: move and resize windows with the mouse (half-done) #6

Closed tudurom closed 7 years ago

Any interest?

+1 Would be nice feature

tudurom commented 7 years ago

It is half-done. See the manpage for waitron(1).

I don't know if this should be separate feature request but would it be possible to add window movement by clicking-and-draging window top border like in evilwm? And thus providing click-to-focus-and-raise behaviour?

  1. Is it possible to add options to move/resize with different mouse buttons (e.g. move with left button, resize with right)

  2. Also i have notice that when you do move and mouse pointer isn't on window center, the window is "jumping", the similar behavior with when you do resize. It is not big deal, but it would be nice if moving/resizing windows would be more "smooth"

Found related bug.

After shrink window with mouse you can't move it (with mouse) to the end of right or bottom edge of screen. After expand window with mouse you can move it (with mouse) out of screen edges (normally you can't)

Also there is no problem if using waitron window_move

I think I am going to either remove mouse_* commands altogether or to rewrite them and make mouse commands behave like in other window managers like cwm or bspwm where you hold the super key and a mouse button and start moving the window, instead of toggling a "resize mode".

I really don't know what to do with it. Sorry :(

Fixed. I'm going to push it.

Ok. My PR to wmutils was merged. I will remove all mouse_* commands in favor of xmmv(1) and xmrs(1).
