# Window Essentials

Move, resize, and arrange windows with shortcuts.

Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows.

## Mouse controls

- **Alt + left drag:** move the window under the pointer.
- **Alt + right drag:** resize it from the bottom-right corner.

Hold only Alt. With Ctrl, Shift, or Win also held, clicks behave normally. Maximized windows are left alone. Releasing the button sends a short Ctrl tap so the window's menu bar does not open.

## Keyboard controls

Hold **Ctrl+Alt** and press a key to act on the focused window:

| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Left / Right | Fill the left / right half of the monitor under the pointer |
| Up / Down | Maximize / restore |
| P | Keep above other windows, or unpin it |

Half-screen placement leaves room for the taskbar.

## Settings

Open the package in Rebind and select **Options**.

- **Drag** tab: turn off **Alt+drag moves, Alt+right-drag resizes** to use only the keyboard.
- **Keys** tab: **Modifier held with every slot key** picks Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift. **Left half**, **Right half**, **Maximize**, **Restore**, and **Pin or unpin on top** set the keys. Restart the package after changing a key.

## Stop

Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** to stop all scripts. Stopping unpins the windows it pinned.

Some fullscreen apps ignore pinned windows. Use on Windows hardware remains unverified.
