#72The "half-maximized" feature sounds great, and one of the things that I feel like no one has right, still.

Add a dash of Taekwindow to the mix, and you'll have everything you need:

I use OpenBox and awesomewm together. I can tile if I want, but I also have access to a more traditional approach.
Because of OpenBox's configuration of everything, I can often link the two together to do fun things like, tile all windows equally around my active window, that I can drag and resize as I like.

Some of them can still be found if you look around on Google. Unfortunately, they haven't aged well -- their wallpapers are mostly for 4:3 monitors and low resolutions, the textures are for low-res screens etc..
box-look.org has a few more recent ones.

So fvwm95 will also come with a release?

You can use window button + arrows to attach windows to corners.

Yes, I know :). Taekwindow adds X11-like behaviour with ALT+left/right click drag to move/resize. Also let's you have scroll-under-cursor instead of scroll-focused-window behaviour.
So it's entirely complementary, and you can customise to your liking.

use Divvy ( Mac, Windows ) You get granular ad-hoc tiling that fits the need you have when you have it. http://mizage.com/divvy/
If this let you specify the grid settings using the keyboard instead of requiring me to use the mouse, I'd love it. Oh, and I'm on Linux, as well...

Problem is returning to where you came from again. RISC OS has the best menus, just click the mouse button anywhere in the window, maximum Fitts score, and you can select menu items and keep the menu open to select more, also select a menu item that has a submenu, and have windows as submenus, for palette selection etc
>Problem is returning to where you came from again. I have cursor speed set high on all of my machines for this very reason. Easy to slam edges, minimal movement to get back to where you started. It takes a day or so to adjust to being precise with small hand movements, but it was totally worth it, at least for me.
I'm curious what kind of mouse you have, and how you have it set up. I'm guessing you're not using a trackpad or TrackPoint?
