Opensnap (aerosnap with mouse)
Aerosnap is a lacking feature of the Openbox window
manager, which handles Lubuntu’s windows, so we need to draw upon a “keystroke trick” (see Aerosnap article) or use a 3rd party app. And there’s a handy program (thanks to lawl) that will do that, called Opensnap. Let’s go with the instructions:
- You can add the PPA (so it will be automatically updated) and installing it from LXTerminal easy:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lawl/opensnap
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install opensnap…or download the package for your architecture, i386 or amd64, and install it manually (not recommended).
- Now, if we want it to execute on every startup, edit the session file. On LXTerminal type:
sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
…without the quotes:
…and add the following line:@opensnap -d
- Save, close and restart. Now you can control windows clicking with your mouse on the title and dragging it up, left or wherever. That’s all!
