#### Asymmetric X11 multi-zone window templates with numbered overlay & hotkeys

A Linux X11 alternative to GridMove. Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or
endorsed by GridMove. Window enumeration, global hotkeys, and geometry snapping require
X11/EWMH (or XWayland); Wayland-native windows cannot be moved by external X11 clients.

FEATURES
• Asymmetric Template Studio & Live Snap: built-in non-uniform templates (3-Part Ultrawide
25/50/25, IDE + Terminal + Docs, Golden Ratio, 4-Corner Asymmetric, Dual Stack), interactive
zone canvas, live X11 client list, and numbered full-monitor clickable Zone Overlay ([1]..[N]).
• Custom Template Designer & .grid INI Parser/Exporter: edit normalized zone percentages
(x0, y0, x1, y1), import/export GridMove-compatible [Grid] INI files, and compute exact
pixel rectangles against real RandR monitor workareas with outer margin & inner gap controls.
• Numbered Global Hotkeys & Trigger Telemetry: XGrabKey global hotkeys Ctrl+Alt+1..9 for instant
zone snapping, quick cycle template & overlay hotkeys, and live pointer-to-trigger distance
telemetry.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Template Grid Mover

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
