#fancyzones — Public Fediverse posts

Kleiner Tipp für alle #KDE und #Widescreen bzw. #Ultrawide User. Mit Meta+T könnt ihr Zonen eueres Desktops festlegen und euch die Arbeitsfläche aufteilen. Analog zu #FancyZones bei den PowerToys aus Redmond. Nur unter KDE ist die Umsetzung gefühlt 3x besser und intuitiver.

When it comes to implementing technology and especially when it comes to hardware, I operate under the "principle of least steps", meaning that I seek the most basic but still effective way to use whatever thing I happen to be using. (#security would be an exception.) For instance, with a #laptop, I use it as a portable single-screen device with no attachments. For #Windows11, tools like #PowerToys #FancyZones make my no-desk, no-external-monitors laptop usage much easier.

#AltSnap just introduced live previews for window zones and it’s amazing. Just think #FancyZones, but needs less than 1MB of memory. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

Honestly, I was shocked how much nicer #Windows11 is for #server use than #windows10

Sure it's mostly just command line stuff and web page stuff, but the UI is way nicer with #fancyzones on windows 11 and I got #ssh working a lot faster on windows 11 than on 10 (Theoretically its the same process but 10 can't seem to figure it out)

Obviously #linux beat both in terms of streamlined installation and #xfce is way nicer looking than windows layout, but credit where it's do and all.

@m0rpk I left #FancyZones for #FancyWM . FancyWM is tiles automatically. 🙃

If you're still using Windows 10, you NEED to install PowerToys to level up your desktop with a customizable FancyZones layout.

Hey, @clintrutkas, nice to meet you! Without PowerToys, my giant monitor wouldn’t be nearly as fun. I promise I have #FancyZones layouts for work, too. 😁
