Yeah, you guessed right. I think with XP I'd already given up.. > > If you drag the window to the top it maximises, and in the side edges > they take half of the screen. I know about the AeroSnap features, while I mostly use the Win-Left/Right/Up combinations. But the annoying thing is that the Alt-Tab sequence is totally unpredictable. When I minimize a window it goes to the last spot, except there are other minimized windows, than it gets (seemingly) prepended to the other minimized, but after all visible windows. And than are there windows like google hangouts chrome extension that stay no matter what always in the front of all other windows in the list. This is simply annoying as hell. So what I am missing is the kind of tagging feature wich works on curating windows to tags using rules like awesome can. > I am also stuck at windows, but I try to do as much as I can via a tmux > session over SSH, and the rest I have to manage with this > drag-to-the-edges-of-the-screen crap. Well, I am lucky enough to have mobaxterm as an at least acceptable unix-like terminal, while urxvt with screen in comparison simply kicks ass. But most of my job takes place in outlook and browser-based ticketing/alerting/cmdb windows which is window-wise just a PITA. Thanks and regards, Andre -- Andre Klärner
