Finder Window Size and Restore Behavior

Dear Community,

After you helped me so much with my last issue, I now have two more questions. Hopefully, someone has a solution for these as well.


Question 1: Restore the default Finder window size
Is there a trigger that restores the default size of a Finder window?

I mean the original window size that a folder has when it is opened for the first time after restarting the MacBook — so not full-screen mode and not “Restore Previous Window Size.”

Example:
I open a folder, and it initially appears in its default size. Then I snap the window to the left or right half of the screen or maximize it.
Is there an action or trigger that allows me to reset the window back to its original default size?


Question 2: Restore a minimized window to its previous position

If I minimize a window using a trigger (for example, Mouse Button 5 + scroll wheel down), can I later restore that same window to its previous position and size using another trigger (for example, Mouse Button 5 + scroll wheel up)?


Thank you in advance for your feedback!

There is not really something like a default size, it's more like the last stored size. However that is not something BTT keeps track of. Maybe you could restore a specific size that works for you?

For the minimize question: If you used the button + scroll down trigger on multiple windows, how would you decide which one to restore with the button + scroll up trigger?

Yes, that would also be a good solution. :blush:

The only thing is, if I now use the command to resize multiple windows to the same size and position, wouldn’t they all end up on top of each other?

Basically, it should work the same way as in Finder:
When I open a Finder window and then press Command + N several times, each new window automatically opens with the same size and the same offset to the right and downward from the previous window.

This creates a kind of cascading window layout, where each newly opened window has the same size and is automatically shifted slightly to the right and downward.


Always restore the most recently minimized window. :blush:

For example: I minimize window 1 first, then window 3, then window 4, and finally window 2.
When I use the “Button + Scroll Up” trigger to restore a window, window 2 should appear first. If I use the trigger a second time, window 4 should be restored, then window 3, and finally window 1.

So basically, it should work according to the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle — always restore the most recently minimized window first.
