NOTE: This currently only works on Windows
This program resizes the currently focused window to dimensions specified in a configuration file when the "alt"+"shift"+"9"/"8"/"7" keys are pressed. Further, "alt"+"shift"+"0" has been configured to maximise the currently focused window. Created out of necessity, this program was produced as I found myself wasting quite a lot of time resizing windows on my Ultrawide monitor (e.g. opening a 2nd VS Code would create a very small window).
- Windows 10/11
- Go 1.21.4 (or sooner)
This program works by checking every 30ms for the pressed shortcut keys. If the required shortcut keys are pressed, the program then resizes the currently focused window to match the settings detailed in the config file. There are 3 sizes that can be set with 3x shortcuts to do so.
Download the source code. Open a terminal in the directory containing the source code. Run the following command to build the program:
go build -ldflags -H=windowsguiTo ensure that the program is always running in the background (checking for key presses), open "Run" from the Windows Start Menu or press WindowsKey+r. Once this "Run" window opens, enter in the following command to open the Startup folder:
shell:startupPaste a shortcut created from the compiled executable in this Startup folder. The program will now run at startup (the program starts after all other necessary processes boot).
All lines must follow the convention as shown below:
size:key:value
Example: L:startHeight:50For the program to function, "startHeight", "windowX" and "windowY" keys are required for each of the 3 sizes (S, M, L). All other keys will be ignored.
- startHeight defines the resized window's top distance from the top of the working area
- windowX defines the width of the new window
- windowY defines the height of the new window
