Can I change default WIN-KEY (up/down/left/right) window dock behavior/sizes?

Solution 1:

  1. First disable the built in windows shortcuts.
  2. Install AutoHotKey and go nuts. It should be able to do all that you are asking and much much more.

EDIT: Take a look at link below which is an AutoHotKey script which replicates the Windows 7 actions. You can modify it to your own tastes.

Solution 2:

I wrote some AutoHotKey scripts, and one of them is to move windows by keyboard. You can check them out at rwintools.

If you don't want all the other tools in my collection, you can just get the script for moving windows (move-window.ahk) and its dependency (common.ahi).

The following are keyboard hot keys to move the current active window:

  • Win+Arrow: move the current window, using all the visible windows as "stop sign"

  • Win+Ctrl+Arrow: dock

  • Win+Shift+Arrow: move the left-upper corner of the current window, using all the visible windows as "stop sign"

  • Win+Alt+Arrow: move the right-bottom corner of the current window, using all the visible windows as "stop sign"

  • Win+Home: move the current window to the left-upper corner of the primary display.

You need to disable the built-in hot keys.
