Description Mike Massonnet editbugs 2007-10-01 20:29:42 CEST
Hi,

I find it appropriate to use Shift+Click on the maximize button to override the default maximize action and fill the window instead.  For the moment the fill feature is only possible with a shortcut.

Regards,
Mike

You can configure the WM to use the fill function when double clicking on the title bar.

How do you do this? I've wanted a similar feature for some time, but I don't see either a shortcut option or a double-click option. (By "fill", do you mean like in pekwm, where it will get as large as it can without covering other windows?)

The fill feature is only in SVN afaict.  It is available as a window manager shortcut (Settings > WM > Keyboard) and as double click action.  It does what you describe: filling the empty space around the window, and the more you fill the more space it takes untill it reaches the screen borders.

I reported that enhancement bug because it sounds funny to Shift+click the maximize button, and it would also let you fill in the horizontal/vertical with Mouse2/1.

Ah, ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it! Is it likely to be included in xfce-4.4.2? (I noticed that it was hard masked in Gentoo.)

I bet a fine patch will be welcome?  However I understand flooblar at X, so don't except a patch from me.

Nope, the fill feature is not in 4.4.2, and I doubt to see it in 4.4 branch because of feature freeze.  Correct me if wrong.

PS: Olivier, can you trigger the "Target Milestone", bugzilla doesn't let me do it.

As in comment #1, it WorksForMe this way :)
