Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/831
Current behavior
Super + up/down minimizes and maximises window, but currently unable to snap window to half-screen.
Expected behavior
Use Super + left/right to snap window to half-screen.
Environment
Desktop

Hi irogers,
Can you provide more details or show what would your expectation look like if you use Super + left/right?
As I see in my Boost Note, Super/WinKey + left/right is used for snapping the app to half the size on left or right part of the screen.
Do you mean to snap it half of the window size on top and bottom instead?
@irogers commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2021):
Hi Komediruzecki,
This is exactly what I am expecting, but nothing happens when I use Super + left/right
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2021):
Hi irogers,
Okay, so since we are using same Linux distribution, I can only assume it might be some keymap differences on your machine.
I am actually using deb package for Boost Note but tried with AppImage and it behaves correctly too.
Can you check if your shortcuts are bound correctly in Ubuntu settings page (see image below)?

Also you might have some other desktop manager which could be the issue, try going through this:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1048693/how-can-i-snap-a-window-in-a-corner-with-18-04, https://askubuntu.com/questions/821954/ctrl-super-left-right-not-working-in-ubuntu-16-04
Can you snap other windows (besides boost note) with the same shortcut?
@irogers commented on GitHub (Mar 8, 2021):
Hi Komediruzecki,
I have double checked those keymap settings are as you have displayed, and yes I can snap windows of other applications fine, just not boostnote.
@irogers commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2021):
Hi @Komediruzecki,
Further information on this. Snapping to half-window does not work when I have "Auto-hide Dock" disabled.
If I switch the toggle and enable auto-hiding Super + left/right works fine
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 11, 2021):
Hi, irogers,
Sorry for waiting,
I tried the auto-hide dock option and it works either way for me.
It must be that some settings are interfering.
Can you try the latest release? I was using the latest release but also tried with 0.13.2 and it works in there too.
@irogers commented on GitHub (Mar 14, 2021):
Hi Komediruzecki,
Thanks for checking it out. Yes, I am still seing the same behaviour with the latest release.
@Komediruzecki commented on GitHub (Mar 14, 2021):
It seems that the only possible thing is that the OS/some other app is having those as shortcuts, dunno why it would not work for you. Maybe it's somehow connected to that auto dock hide, we should investigate the correct version of Ubuntu, electron and other things that might be affecting this
@Rokt33r commented on GitHub (Aug 20, 2021):
I've tested too but I couldn't reproduce this issue neither. I think it should be caused by your desktop environment configuration or other processes.
