in Windows, win+ <-- and win+ -->
snap any window to the left/right side of a monitor,
and if pressed again, snap the window to the other monitor, in multi-monitor environment.
when a window is maximized, it will "restore" the window first, and at the next win+ <-- key the window will snap. this is very easy to use and remember.
But on Linux
a maximized window is not affected by win+ <-- , and the user must explicitly un-maximize it (win+down.
the window is not moved to another monitor
a side-snapped window cannot be resized - it behaves like a maximized window.
is there another program that behaves like Windows, or I should write one by myself?
