MercuryMover: The Details

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.

The Look

MercuryMover uses an unintrusive Heads Up display, sprinkled with a pleasant fade in/fade out effect. MercuryMover is there when you want it and gone when you are done. See MercuryMover in action in this screen movie.

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.
