Add a feature that allows DetachedWindows to "snap" to the edge of monitors, or the edge of other shells.
Created attachment 14365 [details] PerspectiveHelper.java patch Here is a quick attempt at this feature. The intial implementation demonstrates the expected behaviour, but suffers from a few bugs. 1) Tracking follows the cursor instead the expected dragRectangle 2) Snapping can move the window in the wrong axis when moving from one window to another. (Dragging off the workbench may cause the window to snap to the right edge of WorkbenchWindow even though you were half way across). 3) When within snapping distance of any edge, it will snap to any available line. For example, if you have a workbenchwindow open, and a detached view. Dragging the view along the bottom of the window will work fine until it hits what would be the left edge of the WorkbenchWindow if you followed it down. It snaps here. The algorithm may also need performance tuning.
This is a very good idea, but the implementation will have to change considerably now that we're dragging using the OS trim.
There are currently no plans to work on this feature. PW
