Rgb9001: What you're looking for is a bit different from what gridmove does. But i've seen a program that does exactly what you want.. Unfortunatelly, i can't recall its name now and thus am unnable to find it

ppass: I see the problem, i have updated a new version of gridmove that supports numpad introduction with the windows key.

If one already exists that would be excellent! Let me know if you think of the name.

Thanks, both points work like a charm in the new version.

Concerning the fastmove, may I suggest some improvements:

- instead of using "1", "2", ... keys, make it more intuitive with arrow keys.
Example: # +"up key" would move the window to the closest defined zone "above". For example, assuming that I use the default 2-part grid vertical template with a secondary screen on top of the primary, # +"up key" sends the window from section 1 to section 3.

If you find too difficult to physically locate grid zones relative to one an other, then could you implement a simple zone iteration. Example with window in zone1. # + "->" (right arrow) sends window to zone2 (equivalent to #+2), # + "->" pressed again sends to zone3, pressing # + "->" once more sends to zone4, etc. in a loop.

- add a second  modifyer key to span windows.
Example:  M + "->" key (M is the new modifier) would span the window horizontally.
I recall that you mention somewhere features to expand horizontally / vertically, but I do not know where to find them.

Anyway, thanks for such a nice program. I recall trying UltraMon a long time ago, but I think your program is much more fitted for normal use. The only feature I miss is the small arrow icon that UltraMon added in the title bar of windows. Pressing the "up" arrow would send the window to the above screen, etc.

gridmove isn't aware of where the window is. I mean, it only moves the window to a grid, and doesn't keep track of which windows are in which grids.

That is fortunate, and obviously the most efficient way to program this.

It's not impossible to implement your suggestions, only something i can't do right now.

I understand that you can't do right now, maybe personal constraints. Anyway, finding the zone of the window should be quite straightforward. Here is my take on it:

Get the size of the active window (Top, Right, Bottom, Left)

Loop through all zones defined in the grid (start with zone1)

   If (Top == GridTop) and (Right == GridRight) and (Bottom == GridBottom) and (Left == GridLeft) then ZONE_FOUND ! ! ! get out of the loop
  
  else, go to next zone in the grid


Return to  beginning of loop

If you get-out of the loop without finding a zone, then move to zone1, else move the window to the next zone (pressed # + right arrow) or the previous zone (pressed # + left arrow) or the 1st zone (press # + down arrow) or the last zone (pressed # + up arrow).

About detecting the window zones:
Unfortunatelly, many windows don't actually get the size they are moved to, thus, those would always be detected as not belonging to any zone and would always be moved to the first zone. Still, it should work for a fair amount of windows. I'll see if i can find time to implement this (currently i'm on exams, and time is sparse )

About having constants.. Currently, that is something that would involve a big rewrite of the grid file reading, and i think that for the advantage it offers, there probably are more interesting features that should be added.
Maybe you could do it like this: write the file as if you had defined that constant, and use a text editor's replace to replace all of the occuorences with the value you'd like.

Just a little something for those that have an OS that supports better icons (or have a cool launchbar with gridmove in it )

I have attached to this post a 128x128 version of gridmove's icon!

Can some body please make a Dual-Screen Reverse?

And is it possible to have a Dual-Screen & Dual-Screen Reverse loaded at the same time, that you can easily switch between by moving the mouser to certain zone?

there is "3 part grid" and "3 part grid reverse". I'm after a dual screen reverse 

Edit: np  I'll take a look when I get some time.

Now i understand why you find gridmove useful!

Pretty cool, Tyinsar!

@mitzevo: like Tyinsar said, it's pretty easy to make your own grid. I can't make the one you asked right now, but i'll give it a try later this week (if i can find the time )

Hey Tyinsar!
You're right, there should be a link for the grids thread. I'll add one

About the matrox suggestion.. I don't think they'll go for it, but it sure doesn't hurt to try.. Thanks!

Edit: Is there a GridMove grid-making tutorial? If not I'm thinking of making one.

I somehow missed that part..
Nope, there's none. But it sure would be great to have one! (specially since the atempt at a gridmaker i made went very wrong)

You could try basing it on the window's style.

Code

WinGet winStyle, Style, A
if (winStyle & 0x40000) { ;0x40000 = WS_SIZEBOX = WS_THICKFRAME
   ;code to resize
}

Looks like that works beautifuly!

I'll add it right away, as a "safe mode"
