Group two windows so they get focus together. Possible?

Seems to be hackish as hell :)

I guess it could be replicated (sorta) with ahk shortcuts, using this:

ah, there's dock:

Looks kind of interesting.  Have you much experience with it?-MilesAhead (January 28, 2014, 04:23 PM)

I tried it briefly, but it didn't work in the context that I wanted to use it

FWIW I was running a screen scraper into excel so I wanted to group excel, the source app, and the bot in one window, but, for whatever reason, when I dragged the apps onto the task space the bot could no longer see the target app...

That said, I didn't really give it much time (I didn't really have it to spare) but I had intended to come back to it as there were a few combinations I could try...

Probably because it parents the window to the taskspace window, and the bot is looking for that window as a top-level window.  But still a pretty cool app- thanks for the info for my needs :)

Dock seems to work with ahk windows only. Bummer.
I really like this functionality, but taskspace doesn't work for me... and I don't have time to debug :)

urlwolf:
Ah: here it is, Actual multiple monitors does it...

(snap windows to each other)
EDIT: bah, it doesn't group then in the sense that they mini/maximize together.
Still stuck :(
