Inside the brain of a Geek: Oh Snap!
/
Are you constantly resizing application windows to utilize your whole desktop? Windows 7 has a feature that makes this process a snap. This week I will show you how to use Snap’s side-by-side feature. I use this feature daily and am actually using it now to writing and research this tip.
Follow the detailed instructions or use the link below to watch a short 1 minute video.
To arrange windows side by side
- Drag the title bar of a window to the left or right side of the screen until an outline of the expanded window appears.
- Release the mouse to expand the window.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 with another window to arrange the windows side by side.
To return the window to its original size, drag the title bar away from the top of the desktop and then release.
Keyboard shortcut: To snap an active window to the side of the desktop using the keyboard, press Windows logo key +Left Arrow or Windows logo key +Right Arrow.
