  • Looking for a specific window-managing software (macOS equivalent for a Windows app)
    On my Windows PC I am using Window Grid , which is my favorite way to manage windows, and would love a macOS equivalent. If you haven't used it, basically it adds a right click function only when you grab a window to move it - so grabbing a window with left click (holding it down), right-clicking and then a grid pops up to help you resize and realign that particular window. Here's a gif from their website. This... Source: about 1 year ago

  • alt + tab mouse click doesn't work on Win 11?
    Another approach that does not involve the Alt key is WindowGrid and of course there is Microsoft's own FancyZones PowerToy. Source: about 2 years ago

    I currently run 6 alts at the same time, to organize the windows I use a program that lets you easily place the clients in a neat grid of your choice http://windowgrid.net/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I have found out today about "windows power toys" and the neat features it brings to windows 10 and wanted to share it with you guys :)
    You'll probably like WindowGrid. It's like fancy zones on steroids while also being simpler to use. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Recommedation on monitor
    Also, I'm using LayAuto software for window placement on a large display (split display in various sized grids - let me know if you want me to share my defaults). This is absolutely invaluable, as otherwise you spend most of your time arranging windows. Another one I've used and likes is Magnet, but it didn't allow me to customise the split and the keyboard shortcuts. Source: over 2 years ago
