I am running Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 2.4.8.I really like xdotool, but it conflicts with Cinnamon's awesome snapping/tiling feature.If I run the following command, it does NOT work if the current window is snapped to a corner/side/fullscreen.xdotool getactivewindow windowsize 500 1080 windowmove 1420 0I would like to keep it snapped, but with a custom width. If it is NOT snapped, it works.Main goal: Snap a window to the right side, with 500 width (via a command)However, it's probably impossible with xdotool.I would prefer not to install anything else, and do it all with cinnamon, but if anyone thinks I can achieve my goal with wmctrl, then I'll give it a shot.Desired output vs. current outputhttp://s115.photobucket.com/user/ericrazy2000/media/snapped.png.htmlhttp://s115.photobucket.com/user/ericrazy2000/media/NOTsnapped.png.html
How can I automate window tiling with a custom width? (Cinnamon)
