I'm wondering if it is possible to have 'fake' monitor

the 1900 pixel width is 2/3rd + 1/3rd. If I were to click maximize within
either of those imaginary borders, it would maximize to that size instead
of the 1900 px width. If I double clicked, it would then go fullscreen...
Does this sound at all useful? Opinions / critiques...
XFCE has a feature almost like this in its Workspace Margins. You could tell
it to leave a 633-pixel margin at the right side of the screen, and windows
will be maximized to the area except for that. You can't double-click to go
full-screen, but you can still resize (or move) the window manually into
that area.
