Kleiner Tipp für alle #KDE und #Widescreen bzw. #Ultrawide User. Mit Meta+T könnt ihr Zonen eueres Desktops festlegen und euch die Arbeitsfläche aufteilen. Analog zu #FancyZones bei den PowerToys aus Redmond. Nur unter KDE ist die Umsetzung gefühlt 3x besser und intuitiver.

Does anyone have any tips on using a vertical monitor with Windows?

I've found #FancyZones with #PowerToys, which allows me to split a monitor into 3 zones, but find that a lot of applications don't render well in the constrained format :(

The "referencing large documents" use case is only an occasional one; I was more optimistic that 3 zones would be more usable, but so far it's pretty bad :(

@Och Vieleicht ist das #FancyZones Tool aus dem #MicrosoftPowerToys was für dich. Das erweitert das Fenster Management um selbst Definierbare Zonen. Und Autosnap von Fenstern in diese Zonen. Auch auf mehrere Monitore unterscheidbar...

When it comes to implementing technology and especially when it comes to hardware, I operate under the "principle of least steps", meaning that I seek the most basic but still effective way to use whatever thing I happen to be using. (#security would be an exception.) For instance, with a #laptop, I use it as a portable single-screen device with no attachments. For #Windows11, tools like #PowerToys #FancyZones make my no-desk, no-external-monitors laptop usage much easier.

#AltSnap just introduced live previews for window zones and it’s amazing. Just think #FancyZones, but needs less than 1MB of memory. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

Just found the best extension on Gnome for creating custom snap layouts! Check out gSnap:

#gnome #linux #fancyzones

GitHub - GnomeSnapExtensions/gSnap: Gnome-shell extension that allows you to move windows into specific regions similiar to FancyZones on windows.

Honestly, I was shocked how much nicer #Windows11 is for #server use than #windows10

Sure it's mostly just command line stuff and web page stuff, but the UI is way nicer with #fancyzones on windows 11 and I got #ssh working a lot faster on windows 11 than on 10 (Theoretically its the same process but 10 can't seem to figure it out)

Obviously #linux beat both in terms of streamlined installation and #xfce is way nicer looking than windows layout, but credit where it's do and all.

Finally worked out how to mimic #PowerToys #FancyZones on #macOS! In case this helps anyone else:
Using #Rectangle Pro I could leave the 'Snap Areas' as default. Assigned Shift key to be my 'Snap Targets’ modifier (in Snap Areas section). Then setup my ‘Custom Size & Position’ like attached screenshot (adjust these to taste / monitor)

@m0rpk I left #FancyZones for #FancyWM . FancyWM is tiles automatically. 🙃

@Jae Are you using Microsoft #PowerToys #FancyZones for the windows tiling?
