Manage active windows with keyboard shortcuts, like maximizing a panel across all monitors, or minimizing all except for the current window. #Window manager #Active window manager #Window minimizer #Active window #Manager #Management
QuickShift is a tool that aims to increase your productivity by creating keyboard shortcuts for open windows. For instance, you can maximize the active window to the left side of the monitor.
It runs in the systray and doesn't contain complex options, making it accessible even for inexperienced users.
Setting it up takes little time, but you must have .NET Framework installed, otherwise it won't work properly.
The main panel has a simple design and layout, listing all window actions and default associated hotkeys. Some of them are unassigned.
It's possible to shift the right one monitor and toggle the window state, toggle maximizing the active window across all monitors, swap the last two active windows, minimize everything except for the active window, maximize or restore the active window, as well as maximize the window to the right side of the monitor.
After selecting an entry, you can edit the existing hotkey or create a new one, as well as apply the modification with the click of a button. Worth mentioning is that QuickShift notifies you when attempting to create an existing key combination, since it automatically detects such conflicts.
You can disable any unneeded window action or restore all settings to their default configuration. The application has to remain running to apply its effects, and it can be minimized to the system tray to become minimally invasive and let you proceed with your typical desktop activity.
We didn't have any difficulties in our testing as far as stability goes, since QuickShift didn't hang, crash or indicate errors. It used a small amount of CPU and memory.
QuickShift delivers a simple solution for toggling active windows with the aid of hotkeys, ideal for PC users who prefer the keyboard to the mouse.
