Windows + Up and Windows + Down allow me to Maximize and minimize a window from either of my monitors respectively, however the WIndows + Left and Windows + Right wont do anything. Is there feature in my display settings that I have to toggle in order to fix this?
“when working with multiple screens. The trick is that you need to use the keyboard instead of the mouse: the shortcuts for snapping windows side by side are the Windows + Left/Right keys.”
I came for this detail, stayed for the rest of the article. Thanks Ciprian!
Do you know a way to get this done if I have three screens configured as one? I need to compare content often but if I snap left it takes a screen and a half instead of only one. Thanks!
