Window Tiling / Snapping to quarters of screen when dragging with mouse (like in KDE, Cinnamon) [$15]

[Christian Ohrfandl]

I'd like gala to support - in addition to tiling windows just to the left / right half of the screen when dragging per mouse - tiling to quarters of the screen. So, when dragging windows to some areas of the screen, the following should happen:

- left top corner +/- some threshold --> tile window to the top left quarter of the screen
- left center +/- some threshold --> tile window to the left half of the screen
- left bottom corner +/- some threshold --> tile window to the bottom left quarter of the screen
- right top corner +/- some threshold --> tile window to the top right quarter of the screen
- right center +/- some threshold --> tile window to the right half of the screen
- right bottom corner +/- some threshold --> tile window to the bottom right quarter of the screen
- top of the screen --> maximize window

This behaviour should - as already mentioned - be possible by dragging windows per MOUSE (so please no suggestions to keyboard control, THX!)

Thank you in advance!

best regards,
Christian

Maybe it would be useful, before resolving this, adding the feature suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gala/+bug/1390212
Without a preview, it would be difficult to the user know where his windows is going to get moved

This would be nice to have these two features added.
