Stack
A must-have tool for large screens or multiple monitors. Stack is a productivity tool, that helps move windows around. Divide screens into arbitrary zones. Quickly move windows between zones. Customizable hotkeys and mouse drag. Group windows into tabbed areas. Stack vertically or horizontally within a zone. High DPI support and highly customizable layout, based on XAML. With v2.1 we are adding an ability to create and share custom widgets, that can be put on Stack layouts. The initial release of Stack v2.1 contains a single sample widget, and a small amount of composable tools, that enable the creation of more complicated data-rich widgets inline inside your layouts. Stack can now automatically assign most newly opened windows to their closest zone. You can now change which mouse button is used to drag windows between zones. We've added an ability to assign hotkey combinations to move the active window to the zone.
