It's just a jump to the left

Today I learned, completely inadvertently, that if you are using Windows 7 and have one of those landscape monitors, pressing the Windows button and an arrow key together will narrow the active window and make it line up against the indicated side of the screen.

This is not the most earthshakingly important thing in the world, but there are actually circumstances at work for me where this would be a useful shortcut.  So I'm... well, "excited" would be rather an overstatement, but I am at least moderately pleased.

  1. Hey, that is rather cool!

    The feature I really enjoy is that I can drag one document to one side of the screen and another document to the the other side of the screen, and they neatly line up against each other.

  2. If you drag the top of a window to the top of the screen, it will also automatically resize it to fill the monitor vertically. There are a lot of little things like that you can do with the windows.
