Window Management

Snapping, maximising and restoring the focused window from the keyboard, and which commands are worth binding.

Finding them

You do not need the exact name. Each command answers to the words people actually use — "tile" and "move" find the snap commands, "expand" and "fullscreen" find Maximise, "hide" finds Minimise, "quit" and "exit" find Close.

Worth binding

These are the commands that most repay a shortcut, because the whole point is not breaking your flow to reach for the mouse. Assign them under Settings → Shortcuts, or put the four you use on the Pivit Wheel — the wheel's directional layout maps naturally onto snapping, since up-left really is "snap top left".

Four of the eight default wheel slots are window commands for exactly this reason.

Settings

None.
