Slick Window Snap Enhanced

Derived from Slick Window Arrangement by m417z and extends it with:

  • Snapping while resizing windows, including matching neighbour corners.
  • Smarter snapping priority that prefers aligned edges even when windows are slightly offset on the orthogonal axis.
  • Everything from the original mod: adjustable snap distance, optional sliding animation, modifier keys to disable snapping, and more.

Demo

Summary

  • add slick-window-snap-enhanced mod based on slick-window-arrangement
  • add resize snapping and smarter corner alignment defaults
  • keep inline README/settings metadata in sync with repository docs

Testing

  • Windhawk.exe → Developer → Compile
  • toggled snap distance, modifier overrides, and sliding animation across dual monitors

Submit the resize snapping fork with updated defaults for catalog review.

Thank you for the submission. Why did you decide to make it a new mod, and not submit it as a pull request to the Slick Window Arrangement mod?

Hi @m417z,

Thank you for the quick response!

The development started as an experiment to see if features like resize
snapping and inner edge detection could be functionally implemented at all.
During this process, it evolved into a complete standalone mod with
additional functionality beyond the original scope.

I'm open to either approach:

  1. Keep it as a separate mod - This allows users to choose between the
    lighter original version and the extended feature set, similar to how
    allSnap worked back in the day.

  2. Integrate it into Slick Window Arrangement - I could submit it as a
    PR with optional toggle settings for the new features (resize snapping,
    inner edge detection), so existing users aren't affected.

What would you prefer? I'm happy to refactor it either way.

Thanks for maintaining this great project!

I think option 2 is preferable, as the alternative is having two mods which are very similar, making it confusing for users and making it necessary to keep two similar mods in sync when each mod is updated.
