I am using Spectacle on OSX. It's a cool program that allows to move and resize windows from keyboard. I looking for an analogue for KDE.
I need same functionality:
resize window on half-screen by horizontal and vertical and move to screen edge (like as Windows 7). it's feature supported by KDE.
resize window on (screen_size * 1/3) and (screen_size * 2/3) by horizontal and move to screen edge. how can I do this?
Spectacle usage example
You want the TIL3R kwin script. It gives KDE this ability.

I use Lenovo idea pad L340 laptop and when I use two finger to scroll the vs code screen, then the whole screen get scrolled from top to the bottom, this problem is also with the Power shell(in vs code Power shell and windows Power shell). I also enabled the smooth scroll option in the setting of vs code but nothing happened. Please give me a solution

In previous versions of VSCode there was an arrow icon at the top of the panel that could be used to maximize the panel, for instance the terminal. I do not know exactly in which version but that button is now gone and I'm unable to find an equivalent.
My question is: how can I maximize the terminal so it takes the whole VSCode window? Is there any way to get the button back?
Which version of VSCode are you using, and in which OS?
On Mac, and with 1.65.2 (the most recent update by now), I have it in the right corner, near the X button:
Shortcuts
Now talking about shortcuts to make your life easier, there are 2 you should be aware of.
PS: Remember that to change any shortcuts, just go over VSCode Command Palette and type Keyboard Shortcuts to change them.
Maximise panel size
There are no default shortcuts for those, in both Windows and Mac.
If you want to set any, the name of the shortcut is View: Toggle Maximized Panel:
Increasing / decreasing terminal size
Now talking shortcuts, if you want to resize your terminal window, in Mac there's a native shortcut that allows to increase / decrease terminal size with Cmd + Ctrl + Arrow Up / Arrow Down.
There's no default for Windows.
If you want to set / change those shortcuts, they are called Terminal: Resize Terminal Down and Terminal: Resize Terminal Up:
Terminal panel on the side
If you added your panel to either left or right, then the mark to make it fullscreen changes.
After clicking on the arrow below, it'll hide all your files and make the terminal to run in the whole screen for VSCode:
I also got the arrow disappeared, but i manage to bring it back by with command:workbench.action.alignPanelCenter
But i don't know i un align it in the first place
So maybe it will work with you
To get the maximize arrow on the left panel...
Left-click the bottom panel, then choose Move Panel Left
To get the maximize arrow on the bottom panel...
First, press the Customize Layout button
And select Center Panel Alignment
Then move the panel back to the bottom.
Panel can be maximized when centered.
Example: If panel is not centered and the Maximize button is missing you also cannot use the command by hitting
Shift-Ctrl-P View: Toggle Maximize Panel
Fix: run these commands (press Shift-Ctrl-P then begin typing)
First command will enable the maximize button
View: Set Panel alignment to Center
Second command will now work to Maximize (or just press the button that shows up now)
View: Toggle Maximize Panel
Blue and skube have the right answer to the original question. I cannot comment so summarize an answer using commands that can be pasted to verify.
I recently discovered how on Windows in emacs elisp I can maximize an emacs frame: How do I set the size of Emacs' window?.
(defun w32-maximize-frame ()
"Maximize the current frame"
(interactive)
(w32-send-sys-command 61488))
What I would prefer to do is have my emacs window "snap" to it's maximum vertical size using Windows 7 "snap" feature.
(defun w32-snap-max-vertical-frame ()
"Maximize the vertical size of the current frame"
(interactive)
; insert magic here
)
Is there a similar windows message I can send to any window, or my emacs window to have it snap to maximum vertical size?
(As a start, I can google that 61488 above is 0xF300 and corresponds to WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MAXIMIZE which is an entry in a window's system menu, and "snap to vertical" is not in that menu, so I don't think it would occur through a WM_SYSCOMMAND message....)
According to this blog post, you need to execute:
PostMessage(hwndTarget, WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK, HTTOP, 0);
I had a look, but it looks like emacs doesn't have a w32-send-mesage equivalent. If you do find one, WM_NCLBUTTONDBLCLK is 163, and HTTOP is 12.
Not sure what you're asking. You speak of both Emacs frames and Emacs windows, but I still somehow get the impression that perhaps you really mean that you want to maximize a frame but in the vertical directon only. Is that right?
If so, see command maximize-frame-vertically in frame-cmds.el. There are also commands maximize-frame-horizontally and maximize-frame, and commands to restore the frame to its sizes (vertical, horizontal, or both) before maximizing.
I use a widescreen laptop. Many websites have their content centre aligned. On wider screens this means lot of empty space on left and right. As such this is not a botheration.
Many a times, I read some instructions on the web page and type them out on the command prompt. I prefer to overlay the command prompt window on top of the browser and if the browser contents are left aligned (or right aligned), then I need not Alt-tab across these windows.
I use Firefox on Ubuntu. I use the command line (konsole) heavily. I know compiz (and similar) tools provides transparent windows so that the content beneath is visible. But I don't want to install compiz or its equivalent because my graphics driver is not all that good.
Any addon or simple trick that would shift the page content to the left (or right) would be very helpful (read productive).
The path of least resistance is: Don't maximise the window - leave it as a floating window and move it over so it is side-by-side with your command prompt.
If you really want to be funky, override the stylesheet using a user defined stylesheet that has a fixed margin on either the left or right, so the space is never used by the web page.
I am on windows xp,
Is there any way to maximize my cmd.exe window?
I am doing some mysql and it is so difficult to read results of my queries in such a small window.
Why maximize does not really maximizes it?
Is there a way for maximizing?
Or maybe an alternative command prompt I can use?
thanks
Click on the top left icon in the window (the "C:\" one) and select "Properties".
Then select the "Layout" tab and change the window size to what you want it to be (I have 128x50 for the screen and 128x999 for the scroll buffer). You can also optionally set the top left position (I always have it at 1,1) if you don't want Windows itself deciding where the window goes.
When you click on OK, make sure you tell it to modify the shortcut that started the window.
Then it will remember.
This is for XP, other MS operating systems may vary slightly but the general idea should be the same.
Try this:
In the Command window, right click the Title
bar and select Properties from the
popup menu. The property sheet
appears.
In the property sheet, select 'Full
Screen' in the 'Display Options'
box.
Close the property sheet by clicking
OK and select 'Save proeprties for
future windows with same title'.
I would recommand that you use powershell
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/download.mspx
It also support full screen mode, and some other nice feature.
Command Window Default Properties
Click on the sytem menu, or with focus set on the Command Windows, press Alt+Space, and select Properties. Change your Font, Window Size, and so on. I always change my Window Size (on the Layout tab) to Width 80 by Height 65 and Screen Buffer Size to 80 by 300.
Check out Console2, it seems to be about the most promising window enhancement for cmd.exe.
I have to say, cmd.exe is probably the worst part of windows! Especially the copy pasting support, etc.
Personally, I use putty to ssh into a Linux box when I really need to do command line work, you can't go past Bash.
Even though you could install that on windows using Cygwin, which will allow you to use another console, although this doesn't have the ability to override the windows cmd.exe, it might be worth a shot given that you are trying to use a command line application, and not windows :).
Access Properties by right clicking on top of the CMD window, go back to the Font tab, select either 10 x 18 or 12 x 16, and then click OK. You'll then need to go back to the Layout tab and reset the Screen Buffer Size Width to the appropriate value. For example, I selected the 10 x 18 font size and then changed the Screen Buffer Size Width to 160X300 and window size width to 134X37.
