Tiling Windows Without Minimize All

Did you know you could do this in windows?

I didn’t, and I have wanted it for years – I only knew about “tile” in the taskbar itself – so I’d have to minimize all, restore the two I wanted and use that.

I’m VERY happy to have found this. I’m VERY angry that I’ve lived without knowing about it for this long. I hate my own ignorance.

Basically, I often work with only 1 display. I know Multi Monitor rules, but what about when you are on the road with your laptop only? So I want one window on the left and another one on the right.

From the above link:

  1. Click the taskbar entry for the first window you want to view;
  2. Press and hold down the “Ctrl” key;
  3. Click the taskbar entry for the second window you want to view – both of the taskbar entries should now be selected;
  4. Release the control key;
  5. Right-click on either of the taskbar entries you selected;
  6. Click “Tile Horizontally” if you want your windows to appear one above the other; or click “Tile Vertically” if you want your windows to appear side-by-side. If you are reading notes from the UCanWiki, it is often best to tile the window vertically.

 

Did I mention the part where I hate my own ignorance?
