WinSplit Revolution

NOTE: WinSplit Revolution has been discontinued, and there are no new updates coming to this product.

Window managing can sometimes be a pain, especially when using a single monitor. Luckily, there are various specialized applications out there, such as WinSplit Revolution, that give you the possibility to set hotkeys in order to quickly arrange and switch between windows for increased efficiency and speed.

The application is cleverly optimized to run on any machine it is installed on. Taking up roughly about 1 Mb of space on your hard disk drive and using a barely noticeable amount of system resources, it tempts you to give it a try.

Most of its time it stays hidden in the system tray. Except for the hotkey manager and settings menu, there are no other windows to take up precious space on your desktop. You are able to freely customize combination of keys for each given feature or use the default ones, which are comfortable enough.

Several presets give you the possibility to test out available features. Either putting hotkeys to good use or taking advantage of a virtual numpad, you can easily have any active window resized and moved to a specific location on your desktop.

Moreover, the application lets you add custom zones. However, it's rather difficult to get the desired result, seeing how you are required to set coordinates and size in percentage, without the aid of a preview section. Several attempts need to be made in order to get settings just right.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that WinSplit Revolution is a handy application you can use to cleverly organize windows placed on your desktop. Its pride relies in the integrated hotkey support. It even proves helpful when dealing with multiple monitors, letting you quickly move windows around, without using your mouse.
