Working with two "windows"

[timeferret]

Which is the best way to display two pages side by side on the screen similar to to Windows 7.

I don't want to keep pressing F3 to choose each page in turn.

Thanks

The only thing I found is Better Touch Tool - the latest alpha has something similar to windows 7 where you drag the window to each side and it causes a side by side view.

Check out Cinch, which auto-resizes windows in the same way as Windows 7.

There's also TwoUp, not as slick as Cinch but it does the job

Open the two apps, drag the lower right corner to make each about 1/2 of the screen, then drag them to be side by side. The good news is you can do 3 or 4 this way if you have a big enough display to read it.

Thank you folks, I'll check out those applications.

I much prefer SizeUp over Cinch, which is made by the same company. It gives you a lot more options than just two windows side by side and a maximized window. I'd look into that as well. They're both freeware, with the catch that every so often, after 'x' amount of uses of the app, a box will pop up asking if you'd like to purchase it. All purchasing it does, is make the box stop popping up to ask if you want to buy it ! lol
