Snapping improvements

[JorgeR81]

I agree that there are too many special cases and we can't make all cases work perfectly.

I will describe some use cases that could have support, from the most simple to the most complex.

---

Example 1

This is the reddit workflow.

This could use snapping to the bottom.
When we leave Fullscreen, the columns on the bottom are partially hidden.
So we cannot see the bottom of the Prompt area ( below the large preview area ).
And we can't scroll it either, because it does not require scrolling, if fullscreen.
To be able to see the negative prompt, I need to resize the positive prompt

I think this one should be supported.

---

Example 2

Here, one window was removed and the Prompt window was also moved.
So now we have 3 windows forming a full height "column", with a T union.

I'd like to have support for this, but I can understand, if it is too complex.

---

Example 3

This is really complex. We have multiple T unions.

You don't need to support this, unless you find a way to support a single T union, that could be extrapolated to multiple T unions.
All I want to do it's snap the columns to the bottom. So that they can be accessible when I leave Fullscreen.

OK, have a play with the version on dev and see what you think.

I think it covers all your cases. There are a few rough edges, especially when you mix full height with non-full height columns, and the way panels stick together is slightly less intuitive. But LMK.

Seems to be working pretty well! Even in completely messed up situations like this 😆

@chrisgoringe Off-topic: The highlight icon is always visible again

[chrisgoringe]

Yeah - I did that because I found that, esp. with zoom to group, I was toggling the controllers back and forth, and having the button move was just bad. It's not much of a space saving to remove it, especially since it needs to be there some of the time...

It's working great ! It supports all cases !

Now we only need snapping for minimized controllers, so that we can minimize stacked columns.
