I can cancel the filling of all zones with Esc.
Perhaps it is because these applications have customized their title bar.Īfter I do this, snap assist pops up for each of the remaining zones in the selected layout, so I can use the arrow keys to select a window to place there and press Enter to confirm the selection. Interestingly, this does not seem to work for all windows, as it does with the keyboard shortcut. The snap layouts popup window also appears if you hover the mouse over the maximize window button for a while. Finally, I position the window in the selected zone with the Enter key. In it, I can Tab and Shift+ Tab to select a layout and use the arrow keys to select a zone. Then I open the snap layouts popup window with Win+ Z.
First, I move the window to the correct monitor using Win+ Shift+ Left Arrow or Win+ Shift+ Right Arrow. After some experimentation, I found that the following process works best for me: I like that most of the window snapping features are now accessible from the keyboard. That encouraged me to try it again and see if it worked better for me than my own solution. In Windows 11, the window snapping was greatly improved. So I came up with my own solution for keyboard-controlled positioning of windows using AutoHotKey. Keyboard controls for PowerToys FancyZones were also very limited at the time. With Aero Snap enabled, many users find that this feature actually slows them down when they accidently move a window too far to the top, left, or right of the screen.Window snapping was first introduced in Windows 10, but I found the 2x2 grid too limiting, especially since there is no way to resize snapped windows with the keyboard. This is usually faster than minimizing the window to the taskbar for just a few seconds before having to restore the window again. Often, this includes moving a window partially off the desktop to view what’s underneath. If you often have multiple applications open such as Word and Excel while you work, you probably spend a lot of time moving windows around to see what going on. Unfortunately, this method was frustrating when users had more than two windows minimized to the taskbar. Users of previous versions of Windows could arrange two windows side by side by right clicking on the taskbar and choosing a menu option. Why Disable Windows 7/8/10 Aero Snap?Īlthough a seemingly useful feature, some users find the implementation of Aero Snap more of an annoyance than a helpful feature. Doing so would have made finding and disabling this feature a whole lot easier. Oddly, Microsoft didn’t just call this option Disable Aero Snap like it probably should have. Under this option, check the box titled Prevent Windows from Being Automatically Arranged When Moved to the Edge of the Screen. Near the bottom of the window, you will see an option titled Make it Easier to Manage Windows. Click on this option and you will be looking at the Make it Easier to Focus on Tasks window.
At the bottom of the list is an option titled Make it Easier to Focus on Tasks. Not surprisingly, you should now be looking at the Ease of Access Center, which is a central location for all ease of access options available in Windows 7/8/10.
