Windows 7 onwards has keyboard shortcuts - WinKey + cursors moves the windows to snap to half of the screen (top, bottom, left, right) and learn the Alt-Space-then X to maximise and Alt-Space then R to restore.
If you happy using the mouse, Windows snap to the edges of the screen.
There is also a utility you can get for shortcuts very similar to the Mac OSX ShiftIt tool but I can't remember the name of it!
- abraxasz 13y agoThere are many of them. I use Spectacle. You can move windows to the right / left / top / bottom, maximize it, send it to another monitor, etc..
- skriticos2 13y agoI like the Ubuntu version where Alt-Space-X does maximize and restore (depending on current state). One shortcut less to learn.
- ygra 13y agoWell, that'd be Win+↑ for maximize and Win+↓ for restore/minimize on Windows (contrary to what your parent writes, there is no built-in shortcut of making a window take up the top half of a screen).
