Windows 7 In A Snap: The Best Keyboard Shortcuts

windows7Windows 7 has done a lot for Microsoft’s bid for continued dominance in the computer operating system market. Admittedly their new operating system is packed with many welcome changes and features. Among the most highly publicized features is the new “aero snap” feature. This feature allows convenient dual window maximization with a couple quick flicks of the wrist. You must remember the commercials: My name is so-and-so and I came up with Windows 7.

If you are not yet using this new feature, it really is time…

There are also four new keyboard shortcuts that accompany the “aero snap” feature.

1) Windows Key + Cursor Up: Maximizes the current window.
2) Windows Key + Cursor Down: Minimizes the current window.
3) Windows Key + Cursor Left: Snaps the current window to the left half of the screen.
4) Windows Key + Cursor Right: Snaps the current window to the right half of the screen.

I common complaint about the Windows 7 snap feature is that it is not dual monitor friendly. However, using the keyboard shortuts above solves all the issues.

Check out this video to see the shortcuts in action:

That’s all there is to it! Hopefully you have enjoyed the video.
