togglemoveorplace - bakkeby/dusk GitHub Wiki

The togglemoveorplace proxy function is a simple mechanism that:

• uses the placemouse function when the client is floating and
• uses the movemouse function when the client is tiled

The default keybinding to trigger this feature is Super+shift+left click on a client window and drag.

In practice this is the opposite of the moveorplace function and can be thought of as toggling floating state and then using placemouse or movemouse accordingly.

When combined with the moveorplace function, as per the default configuration, the user can use Super+left click and drag to either:

• move a floating window around the screen or
• change the position of a tiled client

Then when doing the same but also holding the Shift modifier:

• snap a tiled client out to become floating or
• snap a floating client to become tiled at the position under the mouse cursor

There are no external commands for this function.
