- About -
arrangeit (https://github.com/ipaleka/arrangeit) is a cross-platform desktop utility that helps you placing your desktop's open windows. It is a utility mostly based on the mouse movements, with some keyboard shortcuts as helpers.
Version 0.91 (https://github.com/ipaleka/arrangeit/tree/master/assets) was the last published version of a Win95/98 desktop utility named ArrangeIt.
Twenty years later, new software with the name arrangeit is born. It has been developed from the scratch in Python and the initial public release v0.3alpha (https://github.com/ipaleka/arrangeit/releases/tag/v0.3alpha) is now available to download from the Github.
- Basic usage -
Move your mouse to set the future position of the window. You may change the active corner either manually, by pressing the Ctrl key on your keyboard, or dynamically through the snapping functionality.
By pressing the left mouse button you set the future position of the window and moving the mouse afterward resizes the main window. Press the left mouse button again to confirm the future size.
- Known issues -
- arrangeit in GNU/Linux works under X Window System only; Wayland is not supported yet and you're all welcome to propose possible guidelines in the related issue (https://github.com/ipaleka/arrangeit/issues/5)
- Mac OS X functionality is planned for the next release 0.4beta
- X-mouse under Windows 10 is sometimes preventing the binary distribution executable to start
- no workspaces/virtual desktops functionality for the older versions of Windows. Windows 10 is the first version having an official API for virtual desktops - if some custom implementation has been quite popular for the previous Windows versions then please let me know about it
- current graphic design is kind of MVPish; all suggestions are welcome
