cos<p>Is there some way to snap windows to a grid in Gnome? I don't want a tiling window manager or custom snap zones (like gSnap). I want just maybe 20x20 static grid to snap window position and size into.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnome</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/windowmanagers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windowmanagers</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ux</span></a></p>

There's such a fabbo cornucopia of delights available to us, &amp; peeps' personal needs, wants &amp; idiosyncrasies are so diverse that Peep A having the arrogance / hubris to recommend a specific distro to Peep B, in complete ignorance of their unique scenario, is just icky. </p><p>That said, i am happy to suggest a <em>methodology</em> you might wish to consider.

Because on <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>x11</span></a> we have a plethora of decent window managers, and toolkits, most of which won't ever see the light of day any more. Sure, they can live on through <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a>, but that limits what you'll be able run under that window manager. I think this is <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a>'s biggest downside -- we're all being funneled through one or two desktop environments. This is going to suck from a UI perspective, IMO.</p><p>I've given this a lot of thought, and I think I want to put myself forward to formally maintain <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xorg</span></a>. I realise what I'm saying -- and I must be absolutely f***ing crazy, but I think it's the only way if I'm to keep a certain ecosystem alive.</p><p>So... I guess I need to start having conversations with folk over at <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xorg</span></a> -- sooner rather than later.</p><p>If anyone here can help facilitate that in some formal capacity, that would help.</p><p>I'm very serious about this as well -- but before I look at writing features or anything else, I first need to understand the stupidi^H^H^Hmagnitude of this, and see how I go.</p><p>But I'm putting myself forward to do this.</p>
