GridMove

Written by: dave

Ever have a lot of windows open at one time? Ever want to lay them all out nicely without having to do a lot of manual dragging and resizing? Then you should take a look at a small utility called GridMove.

On my system, I can press Windows+G at any time and resize and place the current window in the top left corner, or fill the entire right half the screen (or a number of other configurations), or force it to be on top of all other windows by pressing 1-9. You can choose from a number of “templates” (mappings of buttons to screen locations) or create your own.

I find this utility to be helpful when programming (cycling through tutorials, code, output, etc) and grading programs for my TA position, where I have literally seven active windows up at a time.
