  1. Easier and faster to navigate through apps

    Since I managed to get used with this app I can't imagine a day of work without it. Incredible powerful and easy to use / configure.

    👍 Pros:    Increases your productivity
    👎 Cons:    You need a little time to get used with it
  2. A useful productivity tool

    rcmd is something that could potentially turbocharge your productivity. However! you will need to get used to using it.

    👍 Pros:    Improves your productivity
    👎 Cons:    It's super easy to forget that it exists

  • 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: over 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
