SnapX

Replacement for Windows/Aero Snap.

I like the built-in Snap but needed something with more options when I got a 34" monitor to replace two 24" monitors. (I don't want to replace four horizontal snaps with two extra-wide snaps.)

Standards

• Use the same shortcut keys as Snap (Win+arrow key) and the keys must perform the same functions
• If a shortcut key function must be changed, the new function must be intuitively similar
• If new shortcut keys must be introduced, the new keys must be intuitively similar to the originals

Usage

Horizontal Snapping

• Win+Left
  • If not snapped, snap
  • If snapped, move snap left
• Win+Right
  • If not snapped, snap
  • If snapped, move snap right
• Win+Up
  • If not snapped, snap and increase snap width by 1
  • If snapped, increase snap width by 1
• Win+Down
  • If not snapped, minimize
  • If snapped, decrease snap width by 1
  • If snapped and current width is 1, restore

Vertical Snapping

• Win+PgUp
  • If not snapped, snap and adjust height towards the top of the monitor
  • If snapped, adjust height towards the top of the monitor
• Win+PgDn
  • If not snapped, snap and adjust height towards the bottom of the monitor
  • If snapped, adjust height towards the bottom of the monitor
• Win+Alt+Up
  • If not snapped, snap and set height to 1
  • If snapped, move snap up
• Win+Alt+Down
  • If not snapped, snap and set height to 1
  • If snapped, move snap down
• (Win+Alt+Left/Right perform the same functions as Win+Left/Right to make omnidirectional movement more natural (don't have to press and release Alt))

Settings

Settings are accessible from the tray menu.
