For work purposes it looks like I'll be doing a lot of FP hacking on Windows. Does anyone have advice on the best way to make Windows as close to XMonad as possible? I don't want to lose my productivity edge ... ;)
I use WinSplit Revolution, freely available at http://www.winsplit-revolution.com/ . It leaves a lot to be desired when compared to xmonad, but it’s better than stock Windows. There’s also a commercial application called Divvy at http://www.mizage.com/divvy/ , but I’ve never used it. Windows 7 has a few keyboard shortcuts by default that help, such as Win+Left or Win+Right to make a window fill the left or right half of the screen. Microsoft has a list at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts ; the shortcuts I listed above, as well as related functions, are under the Windows logo key keyboard shortcuts.
