New Functionnality - Idea

[baptiste1228]

Hello :),

I enjoy using your extension so far but I think it might be greater with a few new intelligent features.

Context
I created predefined layouts for up to four windows. For example:

• Two windows: each takes half of the screen.

• Three windows: two smaller ones on the left, and one larger window taking half of the screen on the right.

• Four windows: each takes a quarter of the screen.

• (see image 1)

Idea 1: Intelligent tiling preview
What I’d really like to see is an intelligent tiling process. When the user opens multiple windows, the system could automatically suggest a corresponding layout based on the number of windows:

• 1 window → nothing happens.

• n windows (n > 1) but no layout defined for this number → nothing happens.

• n windows (n > 1) and a layout exists for n → the extension starts a preview of this layout.

  • Pressing a key (e.g. Enter) confirms and applies the layout.

  • Pressing another key (e.g. Escape or Space) cancels the preview and restores the previous window positions.

Idea 2: Window swapping
Another frustrating limitation is that I can’t simply drag a window on top of another to swap them (see image 2).

My proposal: when dragging one window (win1) over another (win2), the extension could show an animation preview. For example:

• When win1 is dragged above win2, win2 animates to show how it would move into win1’s position.

• At the same time, win1 automatically resizes to fit the position left by win2.

The user could then:

• Press Enter to confirm the swap.

• Press another key (e.g. Escape) to cancel.

• Or simply drop win1 onto win2 while the animation is active to complete the swap.

Thank you for your consideration and the extension you're providing.
