I'm basically migrating from my windows desktop, to a laptop running Elementary. The DE is pantheon, and it's not really documented as much as gnome or KDE, so I'm not sure how to change the window placement behavior to be similar to this windows addon (which is now built in).
I'm going to try masking the 'gala' binary to point to #i3wm or something similar, and see if that works.
I don't like moving windows into pixel perfect positions manually, with a touchpad.
