Description

A while back I had mentioned modifying xfwm4 to allow you to change workspace while drag moving a window. It's a tiny patch with no settings.. no real point to disable it, since they just don't use it.

Example usage: I feel much more fluid holding alt, "grabbing" a window, and then tapping 2 to go to workspace 2...

  • alt moving window would require easy_click on
  • in the example, my workspace movement is alt+2, but I already have alt down for easy_click movement =]
  • this patch doesn't interact with easy_click, as you could just grab the title bar and drag.. then switch workspace with whatever keys you have setup

Version: 4.6.0
