The WindowMaster library is a managed wrapper around User32.dll to access information about particular windows on screen as well as creating a global keyboard hook. It also defines a HotKey action which will consists of a set of HotKey Combos (Modifier & Key) and a reference to a delegate that will be fired once that HotKey is pressed.
The WindowMaster Tray application is an implementation of WindowMaster lib. It's a small tray application that lets you define some window actions that will be performed when the HotKey(s) is pressed. Below is a list of currently supported actions. (Any actions not listed here are still in development so please use at your own risk. Newly added actions are marked in bold.)
- Dock Window - Places a window to a part of the current screen and re-sizes the window to a percentage of the working area of the screen.
