WindowTiler 1.1 - 1/17/92 by Doug Dyer
Fun for the whole family!
What is this thing?
WindowTiler is a simple commodity for os2.0 users that allows you to map
certain Windows3.0 type window management to a key combination. NOTE: if it
does nothing make sure (using commodities exchange) that you disable any
commodities that conflict for the same hotkeys.
Instructions:
Select the WindowTiler icon, and then "information" in the workbench menu. Then,
in the list box add or edit the tools listed to conform to keyboard equivalents
you want. For instance, to set CASCADE to alt-f10, just type (with no extra
spaces, and CAPITALIZATION MATTERS) CASCADE=Alt F10.
Keyboard Equivalents:
Alt (any alt key)
RAlt
LAlt
Shift (any shift key)
RShift
LShift
RCommand
LCommand
Control
Numericpad
Rbutton (mouse buttons)
Lbutton
A,B,...
Tool types available:
CASCADE Cascades all resizeable windows.
CASCADELEFT Cascades windows with right sides inset.
This one also leaves a bit of space on the right side of the
screen (I use that to get to my dock window). This one
is also easier to use since it gives you access to the front/
back gadgets.
TILE Tiles windows
VTILE Lists windows vertically
HTILE Lists windows horizontally
MINIMIZE shrinks windows
MAXIMIZE enlarges windows
If you place this tool in your wbstartup drawer, don't forget the DONOTWAIT.
I find the most useful setup IHELP's cycle and zoom on f1,f2 and tile,
cascadeleft on f3,f4.

ignore non-sizeable windows (so things like toolmanager
dock are left alone). Improved depth arranging of cascading
