MercuryMover: The Details

What's New

Shortcuts

Shortcuts, the flagship feature of this version, provides a mechanism to assign a single key to a favorite window size and/or position. While using MercuryMover, typing that key will instantly change the window to the specified size and location. Shortcuts can be created by cloning the size and position of an existing window or by typing the width, height and left/top coordinates into the shortcut editor in MercuryMover's preference pane.

Get Info

MercuryMover now includes a heads-up display which shows the current window's width, height and distance from the top left corner of the main screen.

The Look

MercuryMover's unintrusive heads-Up display, has been updated with new graphics and even newer animations. MercuryMover is there when you want it and gone when you are done. See MercuryMover in action in this screen movie.

What's Still Here

Friction: Reduced

By shunning the slow and imprecise mouse, MercuryMover empowers you to work faster and play more. If you are a power user who likes to keep your hands on the keyboard then MercuryMover is for you.

Move and Resize

Move and resize virtually any window without touching the mouse. Using the Shift, Option and Command Keys, you can move or resize windows by 1, 10, 100 pixels at a time or to the edge of the current screen. Of course, MercuryMover is multi-screen aware.

Configurable Modifier Keys

Use the "Advanced" tab in the MercuryMover Preference Pane to customize the modifier keys (Shift, Option, etc). For example, set the Shift key to move or resize your window by 100 pixels instead of 10.

Undo and Redo

Any move or resize operation can be undone using Command-z and redone using Shift-Command-z while the MercuryMover Heads Up Display window is present.

Special Keys

Typing "+" while the MercuryMover Heads Up Display window is present will expand the current window to fill the entire screen. Typing "=" will center the window.
