7/26/2023 0 Comments Enable window names in hyperdockIf customizing is your thing, this is probably for you:īetter Touch Tool can do window snapping as well. You can add custom menus to buttons for custom click-types. You can disable it with a customizable keyboard shortcut. You can control the spacing of window snapping pixel-by-pixel. You can create totally arbitrary area to snap windows to. Better Snap Toolīetter Snap Tool ($2.99) is a lot like Cinch, what with the “hot zones” for resizing windows into position:īetter Snap Tool is highly configurable. The key commands are also customizable in the preferences. The default key commands use the Option key (instead of without, like SizeUp), but you may prefer that. It has great defaults for immediately whooshing windows to halves, thirds, or quarters of the screen. Spectacle (free, donation requested) is pretty similar to SizeUp. You can use it in conjunction with a keyboard-shortcut-based window manager together, although you may end up preferring one or the other. Things to know: They say it works best with single-monitor setups. When you drag the screen against an edge, it will snap to cover that side of the screen. Rather than keyboard commands for resizing windows, it works by having hot zones along the edges of the screen. If you’re more into menu controls, that’s nicely designed with good defaults as well: CinchĬinch ($6.99) is by the same company as SizeUp (Irradiated Software). For me, 95% of my use of these tools is “YOU! Left Side! You! Right Side!”, so the very simple default built-in commands for this are great. SizeUp ($12.99) calls itself “The missing window manager”. So let’s look at the options! Fair warning: this page has a bunch of super-huge GIF files on it, as I thought that would be a useful way to show off these apps features. OS X El Capitan (10.11) brought some split screen stuff, but it has quite a few limitations and certainly isn’t fulfilling all the needs of the discerning nerd. Most Windows (the operating system) users I know quite like the built-in abilities it has to position windows, but there isn’t as much of that built into OS X. With DockMate even though I've set a delay - it seems like it affects only the first preview pop up but from there as you move cursor left and right - content of the popup changes instantly not allowing you to move over other apps preserving what you see.There is no shortage of apps to help you arrange windows. UPD: Just checked how it is done in Windows - looks like it is even simpler - after the preview pop up appears you can move your cursor anywhere including over other apps as long as you quick, so probably there is just a set of delays of different events. And as long as your cursor moves within that triangle - the popup stays visible, even when you move cursor over the neighboring icons. Which part? So they computed the line between your cursor position and the edge points of the pop up menu shown that you want to click. One thing that I've noticed immediately and something that could be improved - when you hover over and app that has, say 4 windows and you try from there to move your mouse to the 1st or the last - it hovers over neighboring app icons and a different set of previews pops up hiding the one you was going to click.Ī while back I red about similar issue Amazon was solving with their menu and the gist of is is they made parts (this is important word here) of neighboring icons hover-insensitive. U/w0lfschild, Do you accept bug reports feature requests?Just installed DockMate and it looks very promising!
