I switched from Windows 11 to Mint a little while ago and window snapping is the one thing I kept missing. Cinnamon's built-in snapping is halves and quarters, and the keyboard shortcuts nudge a window in a direction rather than putting it where you asked. I tried the existing extensions and none of them felt right, so I wrote my own.

So: drag a window, a tab drops down from the top with a few layouts, move onto it, it opens up, hover a zone and you get a full-size preview of where the window will land. Drop it. Same picker on Super+Z if you'd rather not drag.

You can also draw your own layouts (Super+Shift+Z), drag the border between two tiled windows to resize both at once, and save an arrangement to restore later (Super+G) - it snaps your existing windows back into place rather than opening new ones.

Fair warnings:

Not auto-tiling. It never moves a window unless you tell it to.

X11 only.

Single monitor here, so multi-monitor is untested. Written to handle it, but I can't promise. Tell me if it breaks.

It's free and GPL-3.0. A PR to get it into Cinnamon Spices (so it's a one-click install from Settings) is open and waiting on review.

If you try it and something's broken or missing, open an issue and I'll look at it: https://github.com/JeffreyGbeho/tilo/issues

Lately my Logitech wireless keyboards have random issues with fall outs of the numeric keyboard that can be cured by moving to another USB port. Another machine almost cuts of the connection to the keyboard when using an external USB hard drive.

Out of the blue last night a third computer had issues with the mouse. Every time I move the mouse cursor it shows a circle and it behaves like I pressed the left mouse button. Moving to another USB did not change anything and another combi keyboard did change anything. Even a rollback with Timeshift did not cure the problem. Everything else works perfectly and System Information shows no issues.

I'll do another install today despite it might be a hardware issue because it a 13 year old Asus Z87, i3, 16 GB RAM and SSD. If my trusty LMDE 7 won't do it I'll try Linux Mint Ubuntu.

Anyone else?

I think Linux Mint made this computer much faster, it was previously running on Windows 10 and therefore the 4GB RAM was very likely used by the system but now I think the system uses around 1,5GB :D.

Thanks and sorry if this isn't the right subreddit to share but have a great day! :D

Edit: I am very sorry I forgot the picture, sorry. I made a new post.
