SizeUp for Mac - How to grasp the immensity
Macos / / December 26, 2019
The reality is that, no matter how we abused multitasking, we still have to deal with it, working on the computer. Well, when the iMac 27-inch, big-screen is easy to fit all windows. And what about the owners of 13 or even worse, the 11-inch MacBook? But the output is still there!
In fact, the resolution of today's Mac makes it quite comfortable to place on the screen 2-3 box, only trouble is that fit their size and location have to spend time. Yes, Apple has added to OS X 10.11 mode Split View, but it only works with two windows and only in full-screen mode, which is not always convenient.
Good is also a third-party developers who are ready to offer their own solutions. One such utility is SizeUp. She copes with the manipulation of windows, taking care of all the dirty work and allowing you to concentrate on your tasks.
SizeUp can do with windows everything: change the image size of pre-designed templates, change the location, on the scatter various desktops, to transfer to an external display, center, maximize to full screen or return to the previous state. All this, of course, carried out with the help of hot keys, without fuss to the trackpad and mouse. On my Mac is constantly running two apps on one screen: the browser and a text editor (Chrome and iA Writer, if you're wondering) regular means to divide the space between them was very tedious, but because it has become SizeUp takes a couple seconds.
Combinations can be set on your own, but they had originally chosen quite well: we press on Control + Option + Command, adding one of the arrow keys - the active window and fluttered in different parts of the screen in the blink of an eye. If you are still more comfortable with the mouse, too, no problem: the icon in the menu bar contains a list of all available actions.
Separately, the utility allows you to configure several advanced options. For example, I liked the ability to set the offsets from the edges of the screen, thanks to which no window adhere to the boundaries, and arranged neatly in a number of these pixels (the number of tunes manually). More of non-standard it is possible to choose the proportion of the split screen. Suppose you want to divide it in equal parts and take the lower or side windows more space. Up to one percent is configured in the corresponding tab, with separate modes for 2/2 and 4/4.
SizeUp when compared with other window managers, it certainly is not as functional, but it can also be seen as a plus. For example, I made several attempts to accustom themselves to the use of BetterTouchTool, and every time I was frightened something unreal number of settings that are there. I will say this: SizeUp - minimalism and comfort, and for enhanced functionality should refer to other analogues.
As to the price of the program, it must be admitted, it is quite high. On the one hand, 13 dollars for a Mac-app - it's not so much, but on the other - competitors have a much more affordable price tags. To you, but for those who does not pursue unnecessary options, and prefers simple and working solutions (as Justin Rosenstein and the hero of our heading "Jobs" Anton Shein), Buying SizeUp is not the worst investment of US $ 13. Especially since the product has a demo version.
