Hi.

I'm not sure it has always been a feature or if it got added recently,
but Xfce supports some nice keyboard shortcuts for window positioning:

- tile window to the top, bottom, left, or right half of the screen;
- tile window to the top-left, top-right, bottom-left or bottom-right
corners, so 1/4 of the screen;
- maximize window horizontally or vertically;
- fill window horizontally, vertically or completely, so that it takes
all the space up to another window.

This is by no means as convenient as i3w if you already use tiling
window managers, but it sure is useful to get the screen organized for
those still using traditional floating windows as in Xfce, like
myself.

Best regards.
