Window Tiling Manager

On Windows

There are 4 shortcuts for simple window tiling:

  • Win-left: Put the window to left half
  • Win-right: Put the window to right half
  • Win-up: Put the window to (left/right) top
  • Win-down: Put the window to (left/right) bottom

We also recorded a video for demo.

FancyZones

Microsoft also provides a tool called PowerToys for tuning Windows. It contains several utilities:

Installation

NOTE To use PowerToys, Windows build 17134 or higher is needed. To find the build version of your Windows, Win-r and type winver.

Go to PowerToys Release to download and install PowerToys. See PowerToys Installation for more details.

Usage

NOTE To use FancyZones, it needs to be enabled in the setting of PowerToys where you can find the setting options for FancyZones as well, such as the shortcut to redesign FancyZones' layout.

  1. Select a layout by Win-~
    • By default, Win-~ is used for opening FancyZones' layout setting where the layout of windows is designed.
  2. Move window to a cell of the layout by dragging it with Shift holded
    • Then you can invoke automatic layout of windows by holding Shift while dragging the window you want to rearrange.

A demo video is also provided.
