## Describe your issue / feature…

Hi all,

before 0.53 I used to have this windowrule:

`windowrule = move onscreen cursor -50% -50%, tag:floaty`

basically to spawn windows at cursor while keeping it onscreen, how can I replicate it on 0.53? Wiki doesn’t seem to mention “onscreen” anymore, I tried blindly putting it everywhere but nothing seemed to work (it still spawns at cursor, but can go outside of screen).

Any alternative/working solution is appreciated

```auto
windowrule {
  name = Floaty
  float = on
  move = onscreen (cursor_x-(window_w*0.5)) (cursor_y-(window_h*0.5))
  match:tag = floaty
}

```

move = max(min(cursor\_x-window\_w,monitor\_w-window\_w),0) max(min(cursor\_y-window\_h,monitor\_h-window\_h),0)

thank you, this seems to work, didn’t know you can use expressions like that. I’ll tweak it a bit and it’ll be perfect
