How do I change XFCE tiling to maximize on top edge?

Question

In XFCE 4.10, you can enable an option that allows windows to tile automatically when dragged to the edges. The default is to tile to half the screen (half-top, half-bottom, half-left, or half-right). I want to change this so that dragging to the top edge maximizes a window, but I don't see any options in the settings anywhere to change this. Can this be done or am I out of luck here?

Answer 1

I'm afraid you're out of luck, unless you want to patch the sources (and possibly also offer the patch upstream). However there are two alternative approaches:

• assign maximizing the window to double clicking on the window header

• use keyboard short-cut (it used do be Alt+F5, but I'm not sure what the default is today).
