Tales from the Datacenter

Thank you Patrick for this useful post

Around the office, most of us are used to using UltraMon to manage our windows on the beautiful 23″ monitors we have.  Unfortunately, for the time being, UltraMon doesn’t provide support for 7, so some of us are left manually wrangling windows around.

In a rare moment of helpfulness, I managed to find some keyboard shortcuts to help.  One of the plus sides here, is that when using the shortcuts below, a window can be docked to the inside of your dual monitor setup (since you can’t do it with the mouse).

Win + Up Arrow
Maximizes the window.

Win + Down Arrow
Minimizes a restored window.  Restores a maximized window.

Win + Left Arrow
Docks the window to the left side of the screen.  If the window is already docked, restores.  If the window is docked to the right side of the screen, re-docks to the left side.

Win + Right Arrow
Docks the window to the right side of the screen.  If the window is already docked, restores.  If the window is docked to the left side of the screen, re-docks to the right side.
