What is WinPosition?

====================

WinPosition is a simple application to allow you to manage the location of your

various windows on your computer. It came about after the Winsplit Revolution

application was discontinued and there was no longer a free version available.

WinPosition really works well with high resolution (4K+) screens where you

don’t really need to maximize your windows to be effective. It pairs well with

Remote Manager to manage PuTTY windows if you need to be logged into multiple

SSH hosts simultaneously.

How to use WinPosition

======================

To get started with WinPosition, just launch the application. An icon will

appear in your system tray (near the clock) from which you can control the

various features of the application. By default, WinPosition comes with a few

basic position for your windows, but you are free to add as many different

settings to the configuration as you’d like. Managing these different layouts

is as easy as selecting the Layout Config option from the menu after right-

clicking on the icon in your system tray.

Within the WinPosition Layout Configuration window, you will see the buttons

to the left of the window, and the layout configurations in the center listing.

The buttons match the layout of the keys on your number pad on the keyboard.

Unlike other tools, WinPosition currently does not support changing the hotkey

settings. For each of the 9 categories you would press Ctrl+Alt+# to toggle

through the layouts configured for that button.

To add a new layout position, select which button you’d like add it to, then

click the Add button in the top right corner. Specify the dimensions in

percentage points and click the OK button. Make sure that you click the Save

Layout button when done adding so that your changes are saved. From this same

window you can move the various sizes up and down in the sequence. You can also

delete or edit existing layout locations. Again, hit the Save Layout button to

complete those changes. If you make a change and don’t want to save it, just

click the # button on the left again to revert the changes you’ve made.

If you are moving to a new computer, or would otherwise like to share your 

layout settings with another computer, you can use the Export button. This will

create a copy of your layout configuration file that can be Imported at a later

date. This is also a good way to save a backup of your configuration for later

recovery.

That’s pretty much it for configuration. Once you have the settings to your

liking, you can start using the application. When any window on your computer

is focused, pressing Ctrl+Alt+# on the number pad will move that window to the

next position in the sequence configured for that key.

Addtional key combinations:

 Ctrl+Alt+/  — Divide the current window in half

 Ctrl+Alt+*  — Double the current window’s size

 Ctrl+Alt++  — Toggle current window between maximized and normal

 Ctrl+Alt+-  — Minimize current window

If you ever have a conflicting application that may also use the Ctrl+Alt+# key

combination, you can temporarily pause WinPosition so that it ignores the key

presses. To do this, just select the Pause Hotkeys option from the context menu

of the system tray icon.

If you want WinPosition to run at startup, just select that option from the

same tray context menu. It will show as selected if the registry key already

exists, meaning it already runs at start up. If you check it again, it will

remove it from the registry. For reference, it writes to the following registry

key (and only this key):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\[WinPosition]
