Unfortunately, Windows 10’s doesn’t support vertical snapping. I will have to go back to running in the terminal until this is all resolved, which is really disappointing. For the smaller quadrants, use Windows Key + Right / Left, and then Windows Key + Up / Down. Attempting to grab the window to resize it often doesn't work at all, takes a couple tries, and then crashes. The snapping especially!Įdit 2: since posting this I have also found that resizing an X11 Emacs window frequently "crashes." It seems that the display is getting disconnected (when run from the terminal, there is no error output when this happens), but the process also ends. I really hope we can figure out a middle ground on this.

Window resizing itself is a lot slower, and because we now see the X11 cursors, even the resize cursors are harder to see.įrom a pure usability standpoint I fail to see how this is an improvement. Dragging client to the top of a second display to use Windows Snap Assist to get the client to full screen crops it. Not being able to quickly snap my X11 windows (primarily Emacs) to half the screen like I do with everything else is pretty bad. To snap with the mouse, just select the title bar of any application window and drag it all the way to the corners of your screen. The example they give is hold Windows, then left, the up to snap a window to the upper left. To snap a window with the keyboard, select the window you want to snap and press Windows Key + Left Arrow or Windows Key. (Edit: relatively quick window resizing, Windows-style titlebars, Windows cursors, and Window snapping (even with FancyZones) was working 100% in VcXsrv.) According to Microsoft, there are three ways to snap the open windows in Windows 10: using your mouse, keyboard shortcut keys, and Snap Assist. By holding down the Windows key and pressing a two direction keys you snap a window to the corner. You can also snap windows using keyboard shortcuts. Hi everyone, Ive recently purchased a surface 3 and Im having some issues using the snap assist in tablet mode. I just upgraded to Windows 11 with excitement about WSLg, to find that the experience is quite inferior to the way it was working for me in Windows 10 with VcXsrv. Press Windows+Z, then you can select where you want. This is now natively supported in Windows 11. To make things easier, you might want to have the window that you want on the bottom of the screen open over the one that you want on top of the screen before you start minimizing windows. I understand this is potentially a hard one to solve, but I feel like I need to pile on. Then drag each window to the desired portion of the screen.
