Do we need a different gesture than the default 'move' one ? All these
seems quite uneasy to do on my laptop (using the trackpoint); and have
low discoverability.
Would entering s&t mode in place of the regular moving action be a
problem ? given there's not so much space on screen where dropping a
window would attach it to another one, I think I would be fine with s&t
always being active.
Now there's the problem of unstacking/untiling a window; for this maybe
the zoom button could be relaced in the decorator tab with some detach
button when the window is in a group.
Something like this :
[C]Tab1[D] [C]Tab2[D] [C]Tab3[D][Z]
where C D and Z are the Close, Detach and Zoom buttons. Close and
detach are visible for all the windows, and zoom only for the last one
(could be visually separated as it is part of the whole group).
