Move windows without resizing

[iamvery]

First of all, please pardon me if this has already been requested or worse is already a feature that I was unable to figure out 😅

I would like to have the ability to move windows to corners without them being resized. I can imagine a few different ways to implement this.

1. A new set of "corner" options that move windows sans resizing.
2. An app-specific configuration that disables resizing when moving windows.
3. A global preference that disables resizing when moving windows.

I don't have a strong preference, but I sort of feel like the 1st option would be the most obvious and flexible. Do you think this would be a worthwhile feature? I am willing to work on the implementation if so.

Thank you for the great app!

The easiest way is to set this setting: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle#move-updownleftright-dont-center-on-edge, then just execute a couple of move shortcuts to get it in the corner you want.

If you want one shortcut for a corner without resizing (the equivalent of your 1st option) this is not something I have plans to add in to Rectangle at this time, although it's possible to build this with the custom shortcut creator in Hookshot, my paid superset of Rectangle.

If you wanted to create a pull request for a terminal command setting to disable the resizing for just the corner commands, I don't see a reason why that couldn't be added in.

Thank you so much for the reply and the pointer about disabling centering on edge. That's perfect for my use case! I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction 🙏. I may give a pull request a shot eventually to get reacquainted with XCode. Thank you for confirming that this would be an acceptable change to consider.

Have a great day 🙂

Excellent tip about disabling centering on edge!

For reference the documentation of it has moved to https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle/blob/master/TerminalCommands.md#disabling-window-restore-when-moving-windows
