hi,

finally i've got some time to spend with i3
the 'tree' branch compiles, but

i3: ev.c:2621: ev_io_start: Assertion `("libev: ev_io_start called
with negative fd", fd >= 0)' failed.

while starting, so i couldn test anything on this...

anyway, i've got snapping patch for the master branch
http://home.zcu.cz/~honza801/i3-floating.diff

features: snapps floating windows, snap floating window to the
workspace, align even non-touching floating windows on the workspace

please enjoy and keep in mind, that i'm not a C-programator
fous

Hi Jan,

Excerpts from Jan Krcmar's message of 2011-01-28 10:35:22 +0100:
is there any option to turn on edge snapping of floating windows?
i got used to it on fluxbox/wmii/gnome/kde
No, unfortunately not. Keep in mind that i3 is primarily a tiling window
manager, not a floating one :). You could submit a feature request (but it
doesn’t have high priority right now) or a patch (if you decide for the patch,
please use the tree branch).

Best regards,
Michael
