reSizer: Move, Resize And Toggle Windows Using Number Pad
With Windows 7 came AeroSnap, a handy feature that lets you resize your windows, and automatically adjusts multiple windows on the computer screen. reSizer is an AeroSnap-based system utility that allows you to use keyboard shortcuts to focus, resize and change windows in a fast manner without touching the mouse. You can toggle the opacity and always-on-top properties of active windows, and instantly place windows to fit specific areas of your screen. The application is programmed to work with the numeric keypad to enable faster switching between open applications. reSizer also lets you define application shortcut mappings to instantly access active applications.
The application has no interface, and offers no configuration settings. It resides in the system tray, and right-clicking its icon reveals the options to enable/disable reSize, and set it to start with Windows. Enable reSizer and start using the hotkey combinations for resizing and moving windows.
