KDE and Windows7 both have a nice feature that lets you maximize a window to half the screen by dragging it to the left or right screen edge. Does Gnome have anything similar? Edit: The feature is called Aero Snap in Windows 7. |

Found the answer. At this time there are basically two ways to implement it: 1 - Use this or this window manager hack The hacks require modifying Compiz with custom commands or scripts. 2 - Use the Compiz Grid extension Then enable Grid in the Compiz Settings Manager -> Window Management. Grid uses modifier key + numpad to position windows around the screen, so it is not exactly aero snap, but is easier to implement, and works well. |

You may also want to consider a Tiling window manager like xmonad. While it may take a little set up to get it going, it's very powerful. Thanks, I've got both Xmonad and Awesome installed and running, and am working on learning them when I have time. Compiz Grid + Guake or Tilde are pretty close in efficiency though.

There's another package available for Ubuntu called Bluetile, which is essentially xmonad that doesn't require recompilation for config changes.
