More empty space in application title bar

[I-d-as]

Use case or problem

I regularly use the Windows feature where you drag on an empty spot in the title bar and release along the edge of the screen in order to split the screen vertically between Obsidian and another application. I resize Obsidian to a relatively narrow size. When at this size (or when at full size with many notes open) it is difficult to find a spot to click and drag the title bar of Obsidian in order to tile it with another window again.

Proposed solution

It would be nice if Obsidian saved space at a specific area of the title bar to be used for the purpose of repositioning the application window,

Current workaround

When I remember I will sometimes use the Windows Key + Left Arrow hotkey, but it is difficult to break old habits. And, if I am using a mouse or stylus, the hotkey is not ideal.

Thanks!

There are some CSS options here you can try that may help a bit:

Improve draggable surface area of window

I usually have the standard window layout: one or both sidebars open and one or two tab groups with a few tabs each, but sometimes I get in a zone testing something out, research, or whatever, and it can get crazy. As you said, it’s difficult to know where to grab that will work 100% of the time. I’ve been using this for a while (both mac and Windows) to know exactly where to grab with no guesswork. It’s great. margin-left may need adjusting depending on your theme. Give it a try for the time b…

Create draggable area on view-header or similar area which allows title to remain

Out of curiosity, is this the plugin? https://github.com/hdykokd/obsidian-vertical-tabs-view EDIT: maybe not that plugin, or not only that plugin? Here’s with the Vertical tabs view plugin and Hider plugin hiding the tab bar. This CSS seems to cover the dragging alright. .view-header { -webkit-app-region: drag; } [explorer_YIRnnM0BQA] If you let us know exactly how you set it up, what plugins, theme and settings, other CSS, etc., maybe someone can spot something.
