With Windows 7, Microsoft introduced three new Aero features: Aero Snap, Aero Peek, and Aero Shake. While Peek lets you peek through the desktop by clicking the small button located on the extreme right side of the taskbar or by pressing Alt + Space keys, Aero Share lets you quickly minimize all open windows except the one that you are shaking.

Aero Snap, probably the most useful of the three, available in the latest version of Windows. Aero Snap feature lets you quickly minimize/maximize a window, or arrange windows side by side. One can use Windows + arrow keys to use Aero Snap feature in Windows 7.

To snap a focused window to the left of the screen, use Windows + left arrow and use Windows + right arrow to snap a window to the right of the screen. If you like Aero Snap feature and want to enhance this feature, you can try out a free tool named FreeSnap.

    i love freesnap!! i’ve been using it for years, and can’t live without it any more :D
    i had one question/request: in windows 10 the “magnetic edge” is a little off the actual edge of the screen; when you move a window to a corner it’s off the edge (except top) by a few mm.
    it’s a small annoyance (but then again that’s how i found freesnap in the first place ;) – is there any way to fix that, so it goes to the proper edge of screen?
    thanks!
