A very nifty windows' resizer

(1/1)

i've been using this tool for some time & it works so seamlessly that i almost forgot its name... :Thmbsup:
the program that i'm talking about is FreeSnap 1.2 by Blue Onion Software.

what it does is to allow you to resize/move windows around via some hot-keys. e.g.
WinKey + Up Arrow:         snap top window edge
WinKey + Down Arrow:     snap bottom window edge
WinKey + Left Arrow:       snap left window edge
WinKey + Right Arrow:      snap right window edge

while the Home, End, PgUP, and PgDn keys move a window to the corresponding corner of the screen without resizing the window. you can use the number-pad keys as well, regardless of the NumLock state (see image), which is how the author intended for this app to work.



the “Plus” and “Minus” keys on the number-pad will resize the window to a specific dimension. it also has an alternate layout for laptop users, plus an undo command as well.

i know these features can be replicated via Authohotkey. in fact, i believe that a similar script exists in the AHK forums... anyway, i post it here just in case someone finds it useful just as i did sometime ago... ;)

Ooh sounds interesting.  Gonna give it a go.

Thanks for the heads-up.

FreeSnap 1.3 has been released, now with multi-monitor support. :Thmbsup: the author has also released the source-code under the GPL.
