Window Managing software

Hey fellow geeks,

for quite a while I'm thinking about this software and it's nearly impossible that it hasn't been programmed yet as there are sharp minds out there. What I'm talking about is a software that helps you manage your windows from applications and software.

Per example: at home you use a double monitor system and know it's value. You would never want to go back to normal monitoring. However, your employer does not share your opinion and gives you only one monitor at work. As you desire to regain what you once loved you make a foolish attempt to mimic it's key feature by playing with the size of the programs you work with. So like one half of your screen is used by Outlook as the other half is used by Excel (25%) and Word (25%). Now as you do this for every program you use, you will get annoyed pretty soon. ​

Is there anything like that around? I saw an early attempt of this on Linux (probably Fedora Core, dunno) where you could split your directories in half.

 

I have always used one monitor (except for music software), and I see not the slightest problem with that.

I don't need to see Outlook and Excel at the same time. Even though I have two eyes, I can only look at, and work with one of them.

For that we have that most convenient keyboard shortcut Alt+Tab.

But of course, if you feel there is a need for it, why don't you write it? Perhaps you get rich if the demand is great enough...

 

There is no question that two monitores improve efficency. Just think about if you have to transcribe text from one file to another. After every word you type you have to Alt+Tab. You do this one time with dual monitors and you'll never want to go back.

And, unfortunatly, I don't have the skill to program software.

 

If your on Windows 7 you have snapping, Windows XP you'll have to download Aerosnap from http://www.aerosnap.de/index_eng.htm
