Good news: electron/electron#29600 merged.

Even if electron/electron#29600 was merged into version 16.0.0 (and back ported to versjon 14 and 15) it still does not work on the current version 2.9.15 of GitHub Desktop using version 17.0.1 of Electron.

It would be great to see the Windows 11 Snap feature including "Snap layouts" enabled in GitHub Desktop. I'm not seeing it in the current version of GitHub Desktop 3.3.11 (x64).

Is there any chance to get this available?

If you open the snap layout with the Windows Logo Key + Z then you can use Windows Snap with GitHub Desktop (in a kind of indirect way).

This was a problem at the Electron level, and was solved a while ago. It works for me on Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel Build 26090, and GitHub Desktop 3.3.12, and has worked for maybe 18 months now? Something like that....

Windows 11 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
GitHub Desktop 3.3.12 (x64)

If I hover with the mouse over the resize icon of the GitHub Desktop window, then I only see basic options, such as "Maximize". I don't see any snap options.

If I do the same with an application like Visual Studio Code I'm shown a whole set of snap options.

Are you saying that you are seeing snap options displayed when you hover over the icon in GitHub Desktop?
