TailWimp Lite

Introduction

A utility for rearranging Risc OS Wimp windows using keyboard short cuts, inspired by tiling window mananagers.

Details

TailWimp Lite is a simple utility for rearranging Risc OS Wimp windows using keyboard short cuts, inspired by tiling window managers such as i3 and Sway. It supports moving and reshaping windows to cover halves of the screen (horizontally or vertically), as well as the four corner quadrants, minus optional paddings to allow for access to the icon bar, iconised windows etc.

As signified by the Lite in the name, TailWimp Lite is not a fully fledged tiling window manager, nor an approximation of one. It doesn't keep any state of what windows are managed and acts only on the current (topmost) window.

This software has been tested on Risc OS Open 5.2X on Raspberry Pi and in the RPCEmu emulator. It might work on earlier versions of Risc OS as well. If you try it, please let me know! Also, please see the ReadMe for some notes on using Tail Wimp Lite under RPCEmu.
