Well, I once thought this was a good idea and wrote the code, but
people hated it and I backed it out again. It is still in the
source files. In the file move_resize.c, around line 3057 in the
current CVS code we have
#if 0
tx = orig->width / 10 - 1;
ty = orig->height / 10 - 1;
#else
tx = 0;
ty = 0;
#endif
Change the "#if 0" to "#if 1".
This warps the pointer to the nearest border if it is withoin 10%
of the window size from the outer inner of the border. If you want
it even more aggressive, change the "/ 10" to "/ 3".
When you try it out, please let me hear about your experience with
that feature. If it is useful after all, I can easily make it a
"Style" option.
Bye
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
