New issue 7230 by [email protected]: Window snapping
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7230

An old feature request filed by pkasting internally:

Per Ben's suggestions, we should try to prototype some kind of window
snapping behavior a la Winamp.

To start, I would suggest snapping to facing edges of windows, or to screen
edges, within 10 px.

An extension of this that might need experimentation is to snap to adjacent
edges.  ASCII art doesn't play nice with this variable-width font, so just
think of having two windows next to each other, one taller than the other,
and of dragging the bottom border of the shorter window down to make it the
same height as the taller window.  When you get close enough, I think the
border you're dragging should snap to the location of the adjacent window's
edge, to create a continuous line.

Finally, we could extend the resize handling so that snapped edges acted as
a single edge for the purpose of resize drags, whether facing (obviously;
the edge then behaves like a splitter) or adjacent (this might be weird).
