For anyone using Windows with vertical monitors, I made something in AutoHotKey that helps snap windows to top/bottom half or third of the screen. This is useful if you regularly use Win+Left/Right key to snap windows to the left/right screen on landscape monitors but miss the feature on portrait monitors.

>Keys default to Mash (cmd + ctrl + opt) I'm an emacs guy, not a vim guy: what does this mean?

By default the key bindings are cmd+ctrl+opt+{h,j,k,l} to move windows around left/down/up/right respectively.

Why is that called Mash?

I'm a very happy spectacle user myself, and find it more than sufficient for me, I am wondering what are the use cases for more than 2x2 grid. I can see aligning 80x25 terminals edge to edge a very neat layout, but that's stacking AFAIK, not grid. When using grid, it would just resize them to grid and desirable 80x25 sizes would break. And apart of seeing a lot of terminals at once in alignment what are other useful work layouts for you?

I've built similar functionality using Hammerspoon, configuration described at http://simonduff.net/hammerspoon/ However, I normally find myself lazy, and normally end up using the trackpad to drag windows to corners and edges to resize (also built with Hammerspoon)

Oh wow, I've just realised your that Steven Degutis, author of Mjolnir, of which Hammerspoon is based!!! Any reason you've built a stand-alone app for this, given Mjolnir (and Hammerspoon) can do this pretty easily?

Steven Degutis is a registered sex offender. Moreover, he's a REPEAT sex-offender.
