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:
- Click the taskbar entry for the first window you want to view;
- Press and hold down the “Ctrl” key;
- Click the taskbar entry for the second window you want to view – both of the taskbar entries should now be selected;
- Release the control key;
- Right-click on either of the taskbar entries you selected;
- 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?
