Moving a window off screen

Man screen: Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical ter‐ minal between several processes (typically interactive shells). Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI X3.64) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows. When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill existing windows, view a list of windows, turn out‐ put logging on and off, copy-and-paste text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows in whatever manner you wish, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not vis‐ ible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the user's terminal. When a program terminates, screen (per default) kills the window that contained it. If this window was in the foreground, the display switches to the previous window; if none are left, screen exits.With the technical explanation out of the way, how does it differ from say, creating tabs in a regular gnome terminal?For the list of things you can do from the manual, I can already create new tabs, kill tabs, view a list of my tabs, switch between windows. Is it just more convenient with screen? Could someone explain in layman's terms the benefits? voretaq780.7k18 gold badges134 silver badges220

Option, check the box titled Prevent Windows from Being Automatically Arranged When Moved to the Edge of the Screen.Oddly, Microsoft didn’t just call this option Disable Aero Snap like it probably should have. Doing so would have made finding and disabling this feature a whole lot easier.Why Disable Windows 7/8/10 Aero Snap?Although a seemingly useful feature, some users find the implementation of Aero Snap more of an annoyance than a helpful feature. Users of previous versions of Windows could arrange two windows side by side by right clicking on the taskbar and choosing a menu option. Unfortunately, this method was frustrating when users had more than two windows minimized to the taskbar.If you often have multiple applications open such as Word and Excel while you work, you probably spend a lot of time moving windows around to see what going on. Often, this includes moving a window partially off the desktop to view what’s underneath.This is usually faster than minimizing the window to the taskbar for just a few seconds before having to restore the window again. With Aero Snap enabled, many users find that this feature actually slows them down when they accidently move a window too far to the top, left, or right of the screen.
