Window Snapping

Tell Apple what new features you'd like added or old features you're like restored via Feedback - macOS - Apple

FWIW, there are hundreds of millions of users of Macs and very seldom do people request window snapping so it doesn't seem the ones that do are in the majority. If it's so "indispensable" there are third-party solutions such as the previously mentioned "Magnet" or "SizeUp", perhaps others. You can always post a request to Apple on the feedback page already linked.

Your #2 could be a reason it is not implemented by Apple as an

integrated part of the operating system in terms of possible legal

issues from MS.

Personally, when I am using Windows, I found the "snapping" feature

incredibly annoying.

I'm not certain I understand what you want to do, but as you position a Finder window in close proximity to another, it will align itself both horizontally and vertically. You have to move the window fairly slowly for the feature to become evident.

Some people find that feature annoying, which proves you can't please everyone. To disable it hold an option key as you drag the window.

I don't believe (3) was ever intended for that purpose.

As for (2) I don't know what Windows does.

Thanks, I think I understand. If you're interested though, all indications suggest Apple is moving away from windowed apps in general. Windows don't exist in iOS, and macOS has only been evolving to resemble it. Split View began as an iOS feature and you know how that works in macOS.

The Macintosh Finder has outlived every other Mac operating system feature there has ever been, but its days are numbered. Some Finder features (such as reporting disk space) conflict even with its own iOS-like Storage display, so it seems they are being abandoned already. macOS's closest thing to it is likely to be the iOS Files app.

If an app developer comes up with an equivalent to Finder so be it. It may offer various ways of visually depicting files, but won't be any more useful than Files.

If you want to see the future of macOS you can. It's called Launchpad.

Only Apple knows. Thanks for asking.

Yes. Apple we NEED it. Right now. The "Magnet" app works well but it will be better if Apple can just integrate it natively. I find Apple lack of improvements since 2010, disappointing.

Well, then I guess you're a minority since most people find this an indispensable tool. I don't see why there should or would be a legal issue, it's nonsense and a waste of time if it becomes a legal issue. A computer is a tool to do work and good tools require good maintenance and able to operate at a high level of convenience. I personally do not find it annoying and I find it really highly convenient which could increase our productivity. If you don't like the snapping feature then let's hope that Apple include the ability to enable or disable it. Apple should stop sitting on their ***** and do something about this issue. May I ask, if you don't resize your window then how do you do it since you said that you find the "snapping" feature annoying?
