Windows 7: Window management by short-cut keys (with Multi-Monitor in mind)

You have to use the following short cut keys to appreciate the usefulness.  You can manipulate your current Window with following key storks without touching your mouse.

Win+Left Arrow and Win+Right Arrow  is dock left or right

Win+Up Arrow and Win+Down Arrow maximizes and restores / minimizes;

Win+Shift+Up Arrow and Win+Shift+Down Arrow maximizes and restores the vertical size

Win+Home to minimize all the in-active background windows (except the one you are working on)

Win+1, Win+2, etc., to open the corresponding program in your task bar (running programs)

Win+Space – Aero Peek

 

Now if you have multiple monitors, try this:

Win+Shift+Left Arrow and Win+Shift+Right Arrow to move windows from one monitor to another – keeping them in the same relative location to the monitor’s top-left origin

Try it once, you will get used to it right away.
