As of jwm 2.3.6 aerosnap is supported. Add something like
Code:
    <Group>
        <Option>tiled</Option>
        <Option>aerosnap</Option>
    </Group>

to ~/.jwmrc and when you drag a window title to the top of the screen it will resize to full screen. Or drag to the side of screen and it will resize to half screen. (Handy for quickly getting two spreadsheets nicely side by size for comparing cells in the two spreadsheets).

Looks like it is still being refined by Joe and 2.3.7 is planned to have better support for multiple-monitors.

Just remember in Puppy you should be editing /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc and not ~/.jwmrc (there is a note in the top of that file indicating such IIRC).

Yes, thanks I modified /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc
I use the aerosnap in some setups now, works well!

I see that its already coded into Tahr 6.0.6 ... Menu, Desktop, JWMDesk Manager ... Window Tab, Snap subsection (Aero Snap tickbox)

Here is pseudo aerosnap should work for all window managers. It uses wmctrl. I use it with sven multimedia keyboard daemon, using win+arrow-keys.
1. Win+Arrow-up toggles full width top half screen, full width bottom half and fill screen (maximise).
2. Win+Arrow-left toggles left-top-quarter/left-bottom-quarter/left-full-height.
3. Win+Arrow-right toggles right-top-quarter / right-bottom-quarter/right-full-height.
4. Win+Arrow-down minimises.
alt+tab to re-maximise

All together nine 9 positions on screen affecting active window.

I named script aerosnap. needs to be run at startup to export functions. call functions like this
Code:
bash -c MTH
bash -c MBH
bash -c ML
bash -c MR

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# uses mctrl for pseudo aerosnap
# by stemsee (C) 2017 Marcos Contant
# use with sven multimedia keyboard daemon
# run aerosnap on Startup to export functions
# win+arrow key, command: bash -c MR|ML|MTH|MBH

}

}
export -f MR


Code needs tweaking to accomodate decoration on openbox at least. Still better than nothing!

Hi Stemsee. I try that code. I make a script file: aerosnap in /usr/bin then I copy all of your code. Then I link symbolic to /root/Startup. After that I restart x win. Then I open terminal and type: bash -c MR. But the text "bash: MR: command not found" appear. How to run that?

I also make a stickyjwm like this in here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=910550#910550
That also use wmctrl.
Very Happy

Code:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/aerosnap


Also install wmctrl package from repository

On windows aerosnap provides a central adjuster bar down the middle of the screen. When the cursor grips the bar and is dragged left or right, the affected window narrows accordingly, and after that the remaining window re-maximises to its resized area. I wonder how to do that?

My version works best when each function is its own script.
each script provides top, bottom, full-length, either, right, left and full width of screen.

XX=$((XX / 2))
YY=$((YY))
wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_horz,maximized_vert
if [[ ! -e /tmp/MR && ! -e /tmp/RM ]]; then
   wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,$XX,0,$XX,$YY
   touch /tmp/MR
elif [[ -e /tmp/MR ]]; then
   YY=$((YY / 2 ))
   rm -f /tmp/MR
   wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,$XX,$YY,$XX,$YY
   touch /tmp/RM

Cool! Thank you stemsee.
When I used fvwm as a WM in RedHat and Debian, I made custom buttons in the title line to perform similar moves. The buttons had a graphical layout made to show the expected position and size of the window when clicked.

Hi Tallboy

I use winkey+(right_arrow|left_arrow|up_arrow) for MR ML MTH respectively in sven multimedia keyboard daemon. Press one keycombo for thrie for three layouts. Top|Full length|Bottom ; Right|Ful-width|Left etc

Then only need to position the mouse to activate chosen window.

Good work,stemsee.

I suppose this is the closest thing to tiling you can get from within a cascading
window manager, such as icewm, jwm, waimea or pekwm.

To state the obvious, to get your windows really tiled side by side on your desktop,
one needs a real tiling window manager, such as echinus or dwm.

I did test your functions in echinus, a tiling window manager, and they work fine.

I am a bit disappointed that your scripts can not automatically tile, say, four apps,
two side by side at the top and two side by side at the bottom, on the same desktop.
Only one app at a time, eh?

But as you say, this type of tiling "is better than nothing"! Plus you have these
resizing functions "on call", with your win-arrow system.

One nice thing about your scripts is that they can be incorporated in waimea's and
pekwm's "window menus".

Good continuation! Smile BFN.

Hi Musher0

Thanks for testing, and providing feedback and a priori scripts by real programmers whose scripts seem tied to jwm. I use this in openbox and jwm.

I think i should be easy to auto-tile 2/4/5/6/7/8/9/10+ windows with two arrow keys combo. The maths is simple and the arrangements could auto divide the screen into columns and rows according to how many windows are open. However I don't need it. Three columns instead of two interests me, along with three rows. Also auto quad and auto halves would be most useful for 1080p desktop.

I have a 4k tv display at hand, so 16nths (4x4) might be useful at some point (video montage)! Also Qemu multi-seat for 4.

I also like that MochiMopel's script remembers original size and position and can restore it.
Feel free to adapt the scripts as suits you. There is also one other script which minimises with win+down_arrow, but then alt+tab to call it back!
