The keyboard still retains its power!

Between it and the screen the mouse is dead. :P

it doesn't work that way; it only snaps when you actually touch the edge of the screen with your mouse while dragging a window, and it lets you know by displaying a glass pane where it'll 'snap' to, so you can move away if you don't want to. So far i haven't accidentally triggered it yet.

Cfischer83:

You have to drag the window almost 1/4th of its width into the edge of the scree to make it snap to that edge. You might still accidentally snap the window while trying to just drag it to the edges, but the threshold to trigger the snapping action is large enough for me. But YMMV.

I have been waiting for a minimize/maximize shortcut forever!!

Hey, Paul, I haven't even tried it yet but I'm thinking I might find the whole "snapping" thing annoying (accidentally dragging a window too close to the edge of the screen or something). Is there a way to turn it off?
