SnapZones : Replacement for Aero Snap and window manager

[benoit1906]

Hello everyone,

I have made a script to manage windows on your desktop : instead of placing two windows side-by-side, you can now put many more ! This program started as a simple remapping of the "Window + Arrow" hotkeys but quickly got out of hand. I hope you'll like it !

SnapZones

Description
This program is aimed to be a replacement for the default Aero Snap on Windows while providing other options to manage windows. Aero Snap is a feature of Windows 10 that allows to place easily two windows on each side of the screen.
SnapZones expands the concept further by increasing the maximum number of snapped windows. This is done by providing zones in which the user drop any window by dragging or by using the original Windows key combinations.
This program was developed with UltraWide screens in mind but all kinds of screens are supported, as well as multi-monitor setups and (partially supported) vertical screens.

Installation
If you know AutoHotkey, then you know how to do it. Otherwise, use the .exe file (you can delete the other files).

Tutorial
Zone Positioning:

- Hold Shift while dragging a window to snap it into a zone. With this technique, you can snap a window on up to three zones at once !
- Hold Shift while holding the left, right, top or bottom edge of a snapped window to change its size according to the zones.

Shortcut Keys:

("Win" is referring to the Windows key)

- Win + Left/Right
Snap or move a window to left or right.

- Win + Up/Down
Increase/Decrease the width of a snapped window.

- Win + PageUp/PageDown
Increase/Decrease the number of zones on the current monitor.

- Win + Shift + PageUp/PageDown
Divide the height of a snapped window by 2.

- Win + Right Click on the desktop
Open the menu.

About
This program was created with AutoHotkey 1.1.32 in 2021.
