Hi there,
Is this a feature request that's similar to what AquaSnap is doing?

If so, that would be a tremendously excellent addition to PowerToys! Can't wait for these.

Would be great to support different common layouts, like splitting portrait mode in half vertically.

+1 for this feature. I used to use AquaSnap a lot before, but with all the new window features for Win 11 and Fancy Zones, its not so usefull anymore. Only thing I really miss from AquaSnap is the AquaMagnet, which would be an awesome addition to powertoys.

Can we get an official statement on whether this feature is at least considered to be added? Thank you.

from powertoys.

We're coming close to v60.0.0, It'd be a great addition to it! Glad to see people are still commenting on this feature request as it shows there's still a lot of public demand for this feature. 3rd year's the charm!?

60 versions in, this has to be in please :)

+1! It`s the must have feature for Windows.
We need this!

bumping this until there's an official statement. As everyone can see, this wished feature thread kept being bumped over the 4 years since OP. I think the demand is there, we just want to know whether it can be provided or answered.

Exactly this. I have 2 portrait/vertical monitors that I'd love to split the top half and the bottom half.

For additional layout options, I recommend following #5.

A specific issue for splitting portrait mode in half has been opened here: #60

Wishing this was a feature in 2023. And I'm sure many more in 2024. 🙏🏽

I was surprised to find that the app does not have a 'Magnetic Edges' functionality. It would indeed be a very useful addition.
It's a base functionality of other UI-enhancers.

Does Aquasnap pay Powertoys to prevent this magnetic snap functionality from being introduced? PowerToys countlessly adds endless other new things that nobody ever heard of, never mind needs — yet they keep being silent on this AquaSnap's AquaMagnet type feature of snapping a window to another window and the edges of screens (without resizing the windows in the process as in FancyZones or Microsoft's default Multitask). A feature that has been requested for half a decade now.

Magnet-like snap is basic stuff that is found on every Apple Mac and Linux. Problem with the PC program Aquasnap is you can't use it on secondary / multiple monitors.

from powertoys.

As the original requester for this feature, AquaSnap is a good product and worth every penny if you're interested in this type of feature. It would be nice if PowerToys had it, but it's also worth supporting a developer who has already implemented this in a product. I use AquaSnap across three monitors every day, so not sure what you mean by that being a limitation.
There's really no need for accusations of some kind of conspiracy.

Same here. Still waiting for this feature. WindowSpace isn't working for me anymore.
