Hello, I recently bought a big monitor, and with that I started to miss some way of moving windows quickly to where I wanted them. I generally want the windows to line up nicely, so I've coded a new action that lets you "push" a window up/down/left/right until it collides with another window. I've been using the code for several weeks now and I'm very happy with it. I hope it can be useful for someone else too, so please consider including it in the repository.
