Using one gesture for all your window management needs

I'm currently in the process of shutting down share.folivora.ai instead I want to use this forum to share presets. That's why I'm currently moving some popular presets here.

This preset allows you to do all your window management with just a three finger tap - depending on where in a window you tap. A detailed tutorial is available here: Using one gesture for all your window management

You can download the preset here:

I'm using a three finger tap to do different things depending on the mouse location:

  • Mouse over left half of hovered window: Snap to the left half of the screen
  • Mouse over right half of hovered window: Snap to the right half of the screen
  • Mouse over top left corner of the window: Snap to the top left quarter
  • Mouse over top middle area of the window: Maximize window
  • Mouse over top right corner of the window: Snap to the top right quarter
  • Mouse over bottom left corner of the window: Snap to the bottom left quarter
  • Mouse over bottom right corner of the window: Snap to the bottom right quarter

Of course this could easily be extended to any other window placement or action.

For this to work like in the video, the window snapping mode must be set to "window under cursor"

It's great to use and I really like it! I have my four-finger tap set up for some functions. For me, I mapped the three-finger tap to Control + W, since I find myself using the "close" action the most.

Can you tell me what shortcut you have set for Control + W?
