How to vertically split widescreen into two virtual workspaces on ubuntu/gnome?
- by David
My new laptop has a big 16:9 screen, and I'm finding it hard to fully utilize it during the 95% of the time that I'm not watching HD movies on it.
I'd like to set it up as a kind of virtual dual screen by splitting the physical screen into two workspaces. I know I could arrange my windows manually, but I'd like to be able to maximize a window and have it only consume half the monitor, and have its pop up dialogs centered on its half-screen, that sort of thing.
Is there some kind of plug in available to do this?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
