Respect drag threshold to restore a window
RamonUnch opened this issue · 16 comments
AltSnap does not have any drag threshold when we start to move a a Maximized/Snapped window.
Here is a version that fixes the problem:
It adds the DragThreshold value in the [Advanced] section of the ini file:
DragThreshold=1
; Require a small drag before actually starting a movement.
; Set to 0 to disable (like for AtSnap 1.58 and below)
; Set to 1 to have a drag threshold for maximized/snapped windows only (default).
; Set to 2 to always have a drag threshold.
Could you add an ini entry to customize the threshold amount?
The current default seems more like a placebo.
I use the default system settings for drag threshold, If it is a placebo for you You could also consider increasing the system setting which is used for all drag and drop operations.

I could add the option but it would be strange because it is already a system option.
PS: I realized that there is a separated setting for dragging a window out a Maximized/snapped state that was added in Windows 7, and I use the generic system drag threshold, I will fix that.
The generic drag threshold if 4 pixels by default and the SPI_GETMOUSEDRAGOUTTHRESHOLD is 20 by default.
This one should use the SPI_GETMOUSEDRAGOUTTHRESHOLD system value.

I prefer whenever possible to use system settings.
For testing purposes, I changed the system threshold to 20 pixels.
Now Test9 shows the desired lag clearly.
One benefit should be that drag-free actions can be performed less precisely, but test9, despite no dragging occurring, still demands no cursor movement to apply drag-free actions.
The same with resizing.

For resizing there is no drag threshold.
This on should work as you expect, as there is a drag threshold tolerance for drag-free action (can only apply to move and if DragThreshold=2)

With this build you can set DragThreshold=3 and you will have a threshold even for resizing.

Yes, works perferct.
For resizing there is no drag threshold.
Could you manually implement it?
Knowing that Windows uses 4 pixels for dragging and 20 pixels for dragouts, it wouldn't be far off to native system values.
DragThreshold=3
; Require a small drag before actually starting a movement.
; Set to 0 to disable (like for AtSnap 1.58 and below)
; Set to 1 to have a drag threshold for maximized/snapped windows only (default).
; Set to 2 to always have a drag threshold.
; Set to 3 to have a drag threshold for resizing windows (otherwise behaves like DragThreshold=2)
Edit:.
Too late 😎

Perfect, makes drag-free actions in general far more reliable.
This build no longer breaks Resize+Move combo when enabling drag threshold.
This would happen only if you did not override the Move+RMB (RMBM) combo action.
I think I will set as default:
ScrollM=NPStacked2
ScrollR=Zoom
For the rest, I will leave it alone by default (if LMBR=Nothing and RMBM=Nothing are because Move+Resize and Resize+Move already are useful an retain their specific code, unless overriden.
Also Move+MMB by default will toggle snapping mode when moving, unless overridden with MMBM.
I guess I could set something smart for Resize+MMB, such as Minimize.
Resize+Move does something?
I would keep the theme of the original action in mind.
So Move+MMB toggles zone snapping.
Resize+MMB either extends to zones or to the side/corner.
I Updated the GUI to include the While moving and While resizing radio buttons next to Primary/Secondary/titlebar.
PS: Do not use the above it is still buggy...
Resize+Move does something?
Resize+Move snaps to side/corner, like double Resize.
