I used to just use AHK scripts for this sort of thing, but I found a program today that is working out a lot easier. It's called WinSplit Revolution, and while the "official" site isn't around anymore, there's still a download available at WinSplit Revolution - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com, just remember to click "Direct Download Link" instead of the green "Download Now" button with a bullshit installer that tries to give your computer AIDS.

Any other options for this you guys recommend? I'm not sure if WinSplit Revolution works for multiple screens since I'm just using it on my laptop while I'm out and about.

Dexpot | Virtuelle Desktops für Windows

AquaSnap Window Manager: dock, snap, tile, organize

A lot of Aquasnap's functionality is being rolled into Windows 10 or so I heard. I think virtual desktops are a go too. One by one, all the utilities I used to use are slowly becoming a part of Windows. Since Windows 8 came out, I no longer need an application launcher (been had Launchy) or ISO mounting. Nice. Everything is still the best search I've ever used though. Wish Windows search was as good as that. Between the start menu and everything, I barely use Windows Explorer for anything.

I used some flavor of Ubuntu for my writing for some time which was my first experience with multiple desktops, and I never really found a use for them. I imagine it would be useful for some people, but I like seeing everything I have up at once (though this is probably because I only have like four windows open max while working).

AquaSnap looks like a stronger and easier-to-use program than WinSplit Revolution, so thanks for that.
 
I constantly have more than 5 windows and 20 tabs open while working. Never crossed my mind if I could see through a window instead of moving it away to check what's underneath. Fantastic, snapping is also great, although you can use keyboard shortcuts Win + arrows, life is to short too switch the hand from mouse to keyboard.
 
It's why I use multiple desktops. Instead of having windows under each other, I have a workspace with two windows max next to each other. I don't have a lot of screen space (only one 1080p monitor), and prefer to have windows full screen. Alt + numpad switches workspaces and win + numpad (or arrow keys) controls the window re-sizing. E-mail gets it's own workspace, chat + twitter gets one, work gets one, etc. I usually use about 5 workspaces. I could potentially cut it down some once I get another monitor though.

Makes a lot of sense.
