Description
WinTile is easy to use, customizable windows tiling manager. Move and expand windows easily with hotkeys. It should work on windows that have .NET 4.5 and higher.
Motivation
Original windows tiling (Areo Snap) and similar implementations were limited, they lacked keyboard binding and custom layouts.
How does it work
WinTile is a simple WPF app, that wraps around native windows user32.dll
API. It can start with windows and bind hotkeys at start. Hotkeys are registered globally with User32.RegisterHotKey
and User32.UnregisterHotKey
. Each action uses User32.SetWindowPos
in some sense and couple other methods.
