WinManagement Snap & AHKSnap !

(1/6) > >>

Armando:
Ok, so here's a modified version of jgpaiva's WinManagement AHK script (my first try at a "real" AHK script).  :Thmbsup: :)

It doesn't need farr to work and is now a kind of FreeSnap clone... without the undo feature (sorry...) and the incremental resizing (I think that this can already be dealt with properly with Grid move anyways...)... BUT, of  course, with some other features (already existing in WinManagement) : 1-Maximize vertically or horizontally, 2-Toggle On Top/Not On Top, and 3-Maximize/Restore window


Here 'a description of the hotkeys/features (these are mere suggestions : to modify the hotkeys, just modify the script) :


Snap window's borders to edge of the screen :
--------------------------------------------------
WinKey + Up  : snap top window border to screen edge
WinKey + Down : snap bottom window border to screen edge
WinKey + Left : snap left window border to screen edge
WinKey + Right : snap right window border to screen edge


Move window to screen corners :
----------------------------------

WinKey + Home : move window to upper left corner
WinKey + End : move window to bottom left  corner
WinKey + PgUP : move window to upper right corner
WinKey + PgDn  : move window to bottom right corner


Maximize vertically or horizontally :
---------------------------------------

Ctrl + WinKey + Left or Right : Maximize horizontally
Ctrl + WinKey + Up or Down : Maximize vertically


Other common window management :
------------------------------------------

Ctrl + WinKey + PgUP : Maximize/Restore window
Ctrl + WinKey + PgDn : Minimize window
Ctrl + WinKey + Home : Toggle On Top/Not On Top  



Here' the compiled version + the AHK script. To run the uncompiled script, you need to have AHK installed (download it for free).

Edit : 2008 01 07 : new version to better deal with the taskbar.

Edit : 2012 03 20 : completely revamped script by Lanux. See end of thread.

That's pretty cool, armando!
Let's see if we can get ourselves another ahk coder for the family ;)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just going to post in search of these two behaviors. My wish has been granted before I even asked, how's that for greatness?

WinKey + Down : snap bottom window border to screen edge

One minor bug perhaps: the window snaps to physical bottom of the display, i.e. gets underneath the taskbar (if the taskbar is at bottom).

jgpaiva:
That's because armando is using (in the same manner as i was using in winmanagement) the A_screenheight/a_screenwidth variables, which don't take into account the height of the taskbar.

If you'd like to solve this, armando, see this page, specially:
SysGet, OutputVar, MonitorWorkArea,1

That allows you to get the values of the top,right,bottom and left of the screen on the following variables: OutputVarTop, OutputVarRight, OutputVarBottom and OutputVarLeft.

tranglos:
I'll try that, thanks a lot!
