Prompt-based window snapping. For example, I would describe how windows should snap based on the type of app, the number of windows and more. Example: single terminal window should snap bottom left, second window should snap next to it. Browser window full screen unless other apps are open in which case half screen left. Etc.

Is this like window/program repositioning for multiple monitors or something? Just making sure I understand.

Would you describe how every window should be positioned? And if so would you want to just do so once, and then have the configuration (or configuration pattern, as you might have a similar but different set of windows) set up when you ask for e.g. "apply my window snapping" ?

This could be for one or multiple monitors. I’d want to ideally only have to describe my snapping rules once and then just have windows snap automatically, but also be able to tweak my instructions as I maybe discover edge cases.
