Around the office, most of us are used to using UltraMon to manage our windows on the beautiful 23″ monitors we have. Unfortunately, for the time being, UltraMon doesn’t provide support for 7, so some of us are left manually wrangling windows around.
In a rare moment of helpfulness, I managed to find some keyboard shortcuts to help. One of the plus sides here, is that when using the shortcuts below, a window can be docked to the inside of your dual monitor setup (since you can’t do it with the mouse).
| Win + Up Arrow | Maximizes the window. |
| Win + Down Arrow | Minimizes a restored window. Restores a maximized window. |
| Win + Left Arrow | Docks the window to the left side of the screen. If the window is already docked, restores. If the window is docked to the right side of the screen, re-docks to the left side. |
| Win + Right Arrow | Docks the window to the right side of the screen. If the window is already docked, restores. If the window is docked to the left side of the screen, re-docks to the right side. |
| Win + Shift + Left Arrow | Moves the window to the left monitor, assuming dual monitors. |
| Win + Shift + Right Arrow | Moves the window to the right monitor, assuming dual monitors. |
| Win + Home | Minimizes all windows except the one currently in focus. |
| Win + Space | Shows the desktop (the “peek” feature). |
| Win + Plus Sign | Activates the magnifier and zooms in. |
| Win + Minus Sign | Activates the magnifier and zooms out. |
Oh, and for those of you that I see using “Ctrl+Alt+Del” and pressing “Enter” to lock your computer, try Win + L.
Thanks! I found this while trying to figure out how the @*%! to dock something to the inside of my dual setup. Fixed my problem right up.
