Press the Win key and an arrow key to easily dock windows side-by-side, maximize them, minimize them, and move them to another monitor.
Shortcuts for manipulating the active window:
- Win+Left arrow: Snap to the left half of the screen
- Win+RIght arrow: Snap to the right half of the screen
- Win+Up arrow: Maximize the window
- Win+Down arrow: Minimize/Restore if it’s maximized
If you have more than one monitor:
- Win+Shift+Left arrow: Move window to the monitor on the left
- Win+Shift+Right arrow: Move window to the monitor on the right
Flip
You can use Flip to switch between open windows. To do this, press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard, then press the Tab key. Continue pressing the Tab key until the desired window is selected.
Task view
The Task view feature is similar to Flip, but it works a bit differently. To open Task view, click the Task view button near the bottom-left corner of the taskbar. Alternative, you can press Windows key+Tab on your keyboard. All of your open windows will appear, and you can click to choose any window you want.
Virtual desktops
Instead of keeping everything open on the same desktop, you can move some of your windows to a virtual desktop to get them out of the way. It’s especially helpful for managing a lot of windows at the same time. To create a new desktop, open Task view, then select New desktop near the bottom-right corner.
Once you’ve created multiple desktops, you can use Task view to switch between them. You can also move windows between desktops. To do this, open Task view, then click and drag a window to the desired desktop.
