I think i got the general idea, but how would you implement it in
the desktop?<br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi,<br>
<br>
I wanted to introduce myself first, but this is a topic
which I'm also very interested in, so I'll just go ahead.<br>
<br>
As far as i understand, you want to see some kind of tiling
functionality in gome, maybe something like this <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/"
target="_blank">https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/</a>?<br>
<br>
Just for inspiration: I once saw a tiling manager for OSX
(unfortunately i don't remember the name) which placed a
button - opening a small tinling menu similar to gtile - on
the opposite side of the Min,Max,Close Buttons, like this:
<br>
<br>
<img alt="tiling"

<div class="h5">I'm sure that most of you have already
seen some kind of IDE like Anjuta or Eclipse, but
maybe it's also featured by other applications. The
basic concept is that we have one main window and few
other which can be placed on the edges of the first
one. That concept is being used for years. We can say
that it's "must have" for programming environment.
It's simply very practical and easy to use. If we have
trusted solution why don't implement it in the
desktop?<br>
<br>
Some time ago I wanted to tweak my Fedora with some
commands from the web. I moved the terminal to the
right edge and browser to the left to make them both
fill half of the screen. The browser required quite
more space so I had to resize two windows one after
another. It would be much easier if I could resize
both of them in the same time. There is no need to
uncover my desktop. <br>
<br>
Or another example. You are operating on in few
window. Moving, copying, deleting. You need three
windows opened in the same time and terminal (let's
say that you have to change some permissions for
example). You drag each of them to edge of the screen
and it's done. <br>
<br>
I don't have to write how useful would it be for GIMP
users.<br>
<br>
Let's combine it with dock hiding feature. I can
imagine how many other improvements could be made
basing on this one. For example you have nautilus
hidden on the edge. You select some text or an image
and drag it into a folder in the file manager to save
it in proper format (it doesn't work like this right
now, but we could do something about it). Imagine how
easy would it be to collect resources for any kind of
work?<br>
<br>
That would greatly increase usability of Gnome,
wouldn't it?<br>

It's very good idea, however we could make it easier. What would
you say for Blender like space management?</div>

<div>You can click on that "+" in circle in the upper right corner
of the 3d view, and drag it left or down to add new wiev
horizontally or vertically. To remove view you simply need to
drag border of specific view until it completely disaprears.
Let's imagine that you have desktop divided to views that way
and you have one maximised window in any of them. It would
provide much easier and more flexible desktop management than
tilling.</div>
