Fun fact: Project named after the famous Mitosis Rap: Mr. W's Cell Division Song 🧫 🔬 🧬

Moving

• Center current window. hyper+C/Del/Forward Delete

• Move to edges

  • Left - hyper+Home
  • Right - hyper+End
  • Top - hyper+PgUp
  • Bottom - hyper+PgDn

• Move current window to another monitor. hyper+J/K

Resizing

• Fixed ratio window

  • Native ratio window (first maximize, then loop through ratios: 0.9, 0.7, 0.5). hyperShift+M/Enter/Return
  • 4:3 ratio window (loop through ratios: 1.0, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5). hyper+M/Enter/Return

• Width adjustments

  • Loop through screen width ratios: 3/4, 3/5, 1/2, 2/5, 1/4. hyper+Left/Right
  • Set to vertical half screen. hyperShift+Left/Right

• Height adjustments

  • Loop through screen height ratios: 3/4, 1/2, 1/4. hyper+Up/Down

macOS - Hammerspoon

Download here or brew install hammerspoon.

Then symlink the configuration file:

bash mac/install.sh

Windows - AutoHotkey v2

Download here or winget install --id AutoHotkey.AutoHotkey.

If you want the program to start automatically at startup, run the following codes:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\win\install.ps1

# To remove:
# start "$ENV:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

Optional: Disable Office key shortcuts (see superuser and ahk forum):

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Classes\ms-officeapp\Shell\Open\Command /t REG_SZ /d rundll32

:: REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Classes\ms-officeapp\Shell

Ideas

This project is inspired by:

• Size looping behavior from spectacle.

• Hammerspoon implementation reference from this post.

• AutoHotkey implementation reference from here.
