Snap Windows to Halves or Quarters

If you’re juggling multiple windows and want to use keyboard shortcuts to arrange them precisely onscreen, you’re in luck! It’s easy to position two windows into perfect halves, or four windows into quarters on the screen.

First, press Alt+Tab or use your mouse to bring the window you want to reposition into focus. From there, decide which portion of the screen you want that window to occupy.

You can then use the following shortcuts to position two windows into halves:

Maximize on left: Windows+Left Arrow.
Maximize on right: Windows+Right Arrow.

To position four windows into quarters (each will fill 1/4 of the screen), you can use a sequence of two shortcuts. These sequences assume the window hasn’t already been snapped to the left or right half of the screen.

Here’s how to do it:

Upper-left quarter: Windows+Left Arrow, and then Windows+Up Arrow.
Lower-left quarter: Windows+Left Arrow, and then Windows+Down Arrow.
Upper-right quarter: Windows+Right Arrow, and then Windows+Up Arrow.
Lower-right quarter: Windows+Right Arrow, and then Windows+Down Arrow.

Moving Windows Between Displays

If you use multiple monitors and you’ve extended your desktop between them, you can quickly move the active window between displays. To do this, press Windows+Shift+Left or +Right Arrow.

Window Management Cheat Sheet

Here’s a handy cheat sheet of everything we covered above. Practice these, and you’ll be a window ninja in no time:

Alt+Tab: Open task switcher.
Windows+Tab: Open Task View.
Windows+Down Arrow: Minimize window.
Windows+Up Arrow: Maximize window.
Windows+M: Minimize all windows.
Windows+D: Display desktop.
Windows+Home: Minimize all windows except the active one.
Windows+Shift+M: Restore all minimized windows.
Windows+Shift+Up Arrow: Stretch window to the top and bottom of the screen.
Windows+Left Arrow: Maximize the window on the left side of the screen.
Windows+Right Arrow: Maximize the window on the right side of the screen.
Windows+Shift+Left or Right Arrow: Move a window from one monitor to another.
