Gaps between windows in window management actions

[gjritter]

Is it possible to use the various window management actions (centre half, first fourth, etc) with gaps between windows, similar to Rectangle? I like using centre half and first fourth/last fourth with 10 pixel gaps between windows, but I don't see an option to do this with Multitouch's settings.

You can add the gaps into Multitouch by using the following Terminal command, followed by restarting the app:

defaults write com.brassmonkery.Multitouch gapSize -float 10

I have plans to update Multitouch to include a lot more Rectangle UI preferences but haven't gotten to it yet. Let me know if you hit any issues with the gaps here.

@rxhanson does Multitouch also support the gap for screen edges like Rectangle

It should! Replace com.knollsoft.Rectangle with com.brassmonkery.Multitouch.

defaults write com.brassmonkery.Multitouch screenEdgeGapTop -int 10
defaults write com.brassmonkery.Multitouch screenEdgeGapBottom -int 10
defaults write com.brassmonkery.Multitouch screenEdgeGapLeft -int 10
defaults write com.brassmonkery.Multitouch screenEdgeGapRight -int 10

Let me know if it doesn't work.

@rxhanson unfortunately it didn't work. For the time being I had to disable window management on Multitouch and use Rectangle until this is implemented in Multitouch 😆
