[Windows] AutoHotKey for fast window positioning
You can do some neat things with AutoHotKey (Windows scripting program). This morning I assigned some scripts to my numeric keypad to position the current window in vertical slots:
7 - left half of screen A
8 - right half of screen A
9 - left half of screen B
+ - right half of screen B
These next ones position the current window in horizontal slots:
4 - top half of screen A
5 - top half of screen B
1 - bottom half of screen A
2 - bottom half of screen B
Two keys for full screen:
/ - full screen A
* - full screen B
Here's the AutoHotKey code (tweak the numbers for your screen size):
7 - left half of screen A
8 - right half of screen A
9 - left half of screen B
+ - right half of screen B
These next ones position the current window in horizontal slots:
4 - top half of screen A
5 - top half of screen B
1 - bottom half of screen A
2 - bottom half of screen B
Two keys for full screen:
/ - full screen A
* - full screen B
Here's the AutoHotKey code (tweak the numbers for your screen size):
Numpad7::
WinGetActiveTitle, Title
WinMove,%Title%,,-1735,0,868,1200
return
Numpad8::
WinGetActiveTitle, Title
WinMove,%Title%,,-868,0,868,1200
return
Numpad9::
WinGetActiveTitle, Title
WinMove,%Title%,,0,0,700,1050
return
NumpadAdd::
WinGetActiveTitle, Title

Hi Jon,
I love autohotkey and had a similar thing until recently when I can across a util called WinSplit Revolution. Have a look over at:

Cool, I sometimes split my screen in a 50/50 vertical (I have a widescreen), but I don't have hotkeys for it. I have for fullscreen, restore etc, but not the split.
Now, the quest to find a way to do this in KDE begins..

Thanks Stu - I'll check it out!
Thomas - Thanks for stopping by - Hopefully KDE has a similar sort of macro program.
