    Shared edge with windows snapping


    Hello,

    According to the get started pages of windows 10, snapped windows should have a shared edge that is draggable. Whats new - Windows Help


    I can snap windows just fine, only there is no shared edge for the snapped windows nor any option that I can find that is related to it.
    There is supposed to be a shared edge for snapped apps in desktop mode just as in tablet mode.
    Can anyone help me on this one?

    Edit : Nevermind. Apparently it only works with windows apps and possibly store apps. Possibly other apps will support this in the future as they may need to implement this tho the feature isn't much different then resizing a window.. so I wouldn't know why developers need to have to add extra code for this.
    Great idea.. but pretty useless feature if it only works with windows apps.

    :)

    Split Screen!!

    Snap your windows


    • Share

    • Snap with the mouse
    • Snap with the keyboard
    • Snap with Snap Assist

    Use Snap to arrange all of your open windows using the mouse, keyboard, or the Snap Assist feature.


    • 1
      Select the title bar of the window you want to snap.

    • 2
      Drag it to the edge of your screen. An outline will appear to show where the window will snap to once you drop it.

    • 3
      Drag it to the left or right side of your screen to snap it to the left or right half of the screen.

  3. Neep Help to Disable Aero Snap Between Monitors Only on Windows 10

    Yeah, I have the same issue. Very frustrating to have a window snap to the edge between monitors. Snapping to the edges is great. I love that feature. Windows 7 allowed me to snap to the sides of the desktop, but didn't snap to the edges BETWEEN monitors.
    This new feature is just irritating, and makes having multiple monitors frustrating. Fix it, Microsoft, it's a problem.

    It is available with update 1511, and it works with any application, not only modern apps!

    Thank you!

    It does seem to work with other apps as you mentioned. But I 've encountered some oddities/bugs?
    1. Firefox snapping doesn,t seem to work properly when my taskbar is docked to the right side of my screen opposed to the default bottom. The bottom of the window doesn't touch the bottom of the screen when snapping resulting in not showing the shared edge. Wich brings me to my next problem *Smile
    2. When the you snap to a corner so that it the window takes for example 1/4 of a screen, the snapped window will not show the shared edge with windows that are snapped to top and bottom

    It only works when you snapp application to side (1/2 of desktop).
    It works wit my Firefox, Office and explorer. Didn't try with others. Can be really useful.
