More snap options for Trackpad users.

[labbeduddel]

As a Trackpad only user i cannot use "snap with right click" and the shake for "shake to snap" just does not feel natural on a Trackpad (holding one finger to grab a window, while swiping with a second finger back and forth like crazy).

So currently the only option left is to use the snap key, but therefore it is required to press the key on the keyboard with the second hand.

Thats why it would be great to have more options that work single handed with the trackpad.

My suggestion is to show a small icon that appears just below the mouse cursor while a window gets dragged.
If the window is moved away from this icon it just disappears.

But when the cursor hits the icon, while the window is dragged, it opens the zones selection.

I wanted to implement this for the just released MacsyZones 2.0 but seems like macOS has very strict limitations for the trackpad. I'll keep this in mind when I have time to work on it. Thank you.

Maybe I am little bit too clumsy, but I cannot manage to snap a window using the trackpad.
Moving the window works fine ;)
Also clicking shift and I see the defined areas.

But when I release the trackpad... nothing happens.
Am I holding it wrong?

Hello @agent-purple, can you provide more details?

@rohanrhu
I do not have more details.
I expected the window to snap into the selected area when releasing the trackpad, but it did not happen.
Tried it multiple times but it never worked for me.

Hello @agent-purple, can you update your MacsyZones to latest version and check?
