Floating menu and window snapping

Feature Requests

I'm playing around with the floating menus, so I'm wondering if there's a possibility to make the floating menu "solid", like the menu bar or the dock? Let me try to explain, I have a shortcut which is doing "Maximize Window" on the active window, however if I have a floating menu (with window level == 3) right below the menu bar for example, the window title bar is being hided by the floating menu.

I'm aware that I can use "Resize Active Window To Specific Position & Size", but with multiple monitors this is not ideal since it is moving the window to the monitor with the floating menu, then I need to use "Move/Resize" action to restore the position, but this also have its downsides etc.

Therefore I'm checking if this can be achieved somehow.

unfortunately this is not possible. My (very) old app SecondBar resolved this by automatically moving & resizing windows down when they were overlapping, however that also comes with downsides

Yeah, I came across this "SecondBar", but you mentioned it is dead in a post.
Thank you!

You can achieve this by using snap areas and advanced conditioning.

  1. Create snap areas for a "maximized" window that takes your floating menu into account. Do it once for every monitor.
  2. Create X number of identical shortcuts, one for each monitor, and then use Advanced conditioning to determine which snap area to use.

Interesting variables, depending on what you want to trigger on:

mouse_position_x
mouse_position_y
mouse_screen_x
mouse_screen_y
mouse_screen_width
mouse_screen_height
focused_screen_x
focused_screen_y
focesed_screen_width
focused_screen_height

Thanks for this. I've used different approach which is working fine for me. Thanks for your time replying to this old post :).
