This is exactly what I've been looking for since I switched back to the Mac from Linux a few years ago. Thanks for the pointer!
Set it up like this and you will never forget the configuration:

The only thing I changed is that I have the center window mapped to cmd+opt+ctrl+k. This is so you can quickly do a left side keyboard command and then center the narrower window. I do this because sometimes windows look funny open all the way on a wide screen monitor and you only want one window open in the think app.

#14Great! A little difficulty with multiple monitors, but workable.
one of the guys I work with had a good suggestion that's working well for me. Nudge the monitor down just a tad so there's a small 'wall' in the top (or bottom) corner to catch... http://grab.by/1kfI
But pxlpshr's fix above appears to work fine. :)

FYI to other readers, Cinch won't trigger itself if you drag a window to the "seam" between monitors on your desktop if you're using multi-monitors. It only appears to trigger if you drag to an edge on your desktop. But pxlpshr's fix above appears to work fine. :)
