Option to Disable Automatic Resizing between Snapped Windows
Feature summary
I'm fond of the window snapping feature and use it quite often, however a pain point for me has always been when I resize a snapped window; it automatically resizes the window on the other side.
This demonstrates the problem, now that I have 2 snapped windows by dragging one to the left, and dragging one to the right. I can't make them overlap without unsnapping them first because they're also snapped to eachother.
I only use snapping to quickly get a window to snap to the edge of the display, I don't want windows snapping to each other, and often even have them overlap on purpose like below.
To achieve the above, I can't use the snapping feature, instead I have to manually move both windows and size them appropriately.
Currently, I have to do the following:
- Unsnap the left window and manually stick it in the corner, and size it up.
- Unsnap the right window and manually stick it in the corner and size it up.
How would you like it to work
Could an option be added that allows users to disable automatic window resizing of snapped windows, ie windows can snap to the display edges, but not to other windows?
It appears Windows 10 also has an option for this.

I'd like to be able to do this by:
- Simply dragging a snapped window and having it overlap other snapped windows. (Like the GIF above.)
