WinSplit Revolution

The basic idea is to help you make the best of your screen real estate without fiddling around with the mouse for standard window positions. This gizmo helps you arranging your open windows on your desktop. It is especially useful when working with a large or even two monitors. So I use it regularly when writing: on the left half of my wide screen monitor I place my research (text, pictures, websites...) and on the other half I open my word processor.

The default positions for your program windows correspond to your keyboard’s numeric pad, and indeed positioning is done either by choosing the respective short cuts (CTRL-ALT + NumPad) or by right clicking on the program’s icon in the system tray, evoking a virtual numeric pad like control and choosing the wanted position with your mouse. Notebook owners will welcome the latter method as still not all notebooks indulge with a useable numeric pad.

When I first found the program, honestly, I didn’t know what to do with it as I felt quite capable of arranging my windows to my liking, but after using it now for almost one year I can tell you, you won’t know what you miss until you use it for yourself.
