AutoHotkey Community

After checking out WindowPad from Lexikos, I realized that the ability to neatly organize windows is extremely useful, especially across multiple monitors. But I felt like using the keyboard wasn't as intuitive as using the mouse. So, I created WinMouse! Because it feels so intuitive, I found it much faster than WindowPad. Here is the introduction from the documentation:


Screenshot showing a highlighted drop zone, as well as the AutoHotkey Help window which was dropped in the lower-right drop zone:


The included config file is a good general beginning file which shows the capabilities of WinMouse. The documentation (after INI entries in WinMouse.ini) is quite thorough, but do not hesitate if you have any questions As always, any (constructive) criticism/comments/suggestions are welcome!

Changelog

Jan 16, 2009

- Added the ability to restore a moved window to its previous position by pressing Capslock + Space
- Fixed up documentation (eg. changed Monitor 2 example to a 16-drop-zone configuration)
- Added ReverseNumPad key in WinMouse.ini -> allows you to invert NumPad superimposition.
- Added StringReplace -> you can now have spaces and tabs in the drop zone definition
- Added a few more comments in the script

Nice idea, is there a way to restore previous window size?
As far as I understood I can define as many areas as I like, right? Can you post another ini having 16 instead of 4 areas?

Suggestion:
It would be great if you could spread all window in separate area automaticaly to get better overview, is it possible?

Thanks for sharing this script

Yes it is definitely possible. I don't have the time right now, but the [Monitor X] section would start off something like this:

I also have to update the documentation to specify that if a range contains two points which are on the same X (or Y), the drop zone will be a pane (for example, 2-5 indicates a horizontal pane (ie. which touches the left and right edges of the monitor) starting at 2 and ending at 5).


Great ideas. The first one might be tricky to do (doable, but it would add too much complexity to the script I fear), but the second is a great idea!
I have to go right now, but I'll work on it later today.


Glad you like it!

I don't know why, but I was confused when I wrote that (I thought 1 was in the upper-left). Here is the complete section in order to split the screen in 16 drop zones:

Updated WinMouse with the following changes:
