[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1038177, member: 38864"] I've found 2 apps that will facilitate this, both from the same developer. Firstly there's [URL="http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/"]SizeUp[/URL]. This adds shortcuts you use to move individual windows to one half of the screen, a quarter of it (pinned to a corner), and more. I don't see a way for it to automatically tile all open windows, but this is still quicker and easier than re-sizing manually. Next, they have [URL="http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/"]Cinch[/URL]. This does similar tiling like SizeUp, but you use the mouse to drag the window to a side/corner. In my experimenting, I flat out don't recommend it. It's very twitchy if you have Spaces in use, and I actually "lost" a window somehow (it was still in my list of open windows, but not visible) and Safari wouldn't quit. EDIT: These guys used to have a freebie app called [URL="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10907668"]TwoUp[/URL] that was more limited in usage, but would be fine for your needs. But they discontinued it in favor of their shareware SizeUp. But if you can find a place to get it from, so much the better. And finally… there are some AppleScript solutions.
