Any windows alternative?


You probably already know that you can do Win+<Left/right arrow> to maximize to half of the screen, Win+<Up/down arrow> to maximize/unmaximize, and Win+Shift+<Left/right arrow> to send to other screens, right? That's already a lot of the functionality promised by a lot of OS X tilers (Though Slate clearly has quite a bit more, too). Divvy is also available for Windows (http://mizage.com/windivvy/), and if you look around there are quite a few other options for "Windows tiling window manager," some of which are a little more "genuine" in that they force the tiling. You can also get alternative shells that provide tiling.


Try bug.n. I'm on linux, with awesome wm, partly because bug.n doesn't have a 3 column mode and as such it's pretty useless on a 2560x1440 monitor.
