Is there a Divvy for Windows?

[fatedquest]

Even if you've never owned a MAC before, take a look at the video presentation on this website

Divvy · Window management at its finest.

It's certainly a very bright idea. Is there something that has the same function for Windows?

Hi fatedquest,

I'm sure you know about Aero Snap, but did you know it can be controlled with keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking and dragging from the title bar? In any open window, press [Win]+[up, down, left, or right arrow] and it will snap to the corresponding screen edge. I realize it's not quite the same as Divvy, which is very cool, but a lot of people aren't aware of the keyboard shortcuts for Aero Snap.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

I'm Steve with Mizage, makers of Divvy. We're actually producing an official Windows port of Divvy that should be released this year. Stay tuned...

Guys, please educate an old geek in distress: What is None-key? Wanted ti try this Windy, installed it, and now i should press Alt + None to invoke it.

You just right-click the tray icon, click Settings, and the hotkey is on the right.

It just says None because the developer didn't see far enough ahead to change the tooltip if no hotkey was set. Regardless, a great program.

I was already thinking I'm like Homer Simpson asking "Where's the Any key?".

Thanks for the tip, I want to test this app.

Windy Beta 2

this is satish from the JousLabs.
We just released the beta version of windy, which now has taken a new route from divvy. But still has the goody tiles for resizing. You will find windy doing much more.
here is the new link : project windy
