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.

I'm surprised that bug.n didn't come up yet: http://www.autohotkey.net/~joten/ I'm not a Windows user but I have heard good things about it, and it looks swell! --Mike On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 01:19, Don Stewart wrote:
