It supports defining arbitrary zone layouts, switching between different layouts with hotkeys, snapping windows to them using the mouse or hotkeys, remembering which zone a window was in, snapping child windows/popups to zones.

It doesn't lock windows in place or remove window decorations unfortunately.

There's some other great stuff in PowerToys as well, they can all be enabled optionally.

* Bulk file rename in the context menu. Rename large numbers of files in a UI using regex/pattern matching.

* File lock viewer: See which process is preventing a file being deleted.

* PowerToys Run: basically spotlight or a system wide version of vscode's command bar. It can do calculations, find files, launch programs. Bound to a global hotkey of alt+space.

* Text extractor: like snipping tool but tries to use OCR to extract text from the capture region.

For my first attempt, using my arrow cluster, I divided my screen in roughly third: - top left: win+pageup - bottom left win+left - top center: win+up - bottom center: win+down - top right: win+pagedown - bottom right: win+down

Then you just remove the decorations and put windows there, using the coordinates you get.

You can also create toggles, here's a simple one:

WinGetPos, X, Y, Width, Height, A ;MsgBox, is at %X%`,%Y% if (X == 1800-640) { WinMove,A,, 0,0, 1800, 1200 } else { WinMove,A,, 1800-640, 1200-480, 640, 480 }

Extend the logic to use more (or less) of the 3x2 grid.

If you prefer to keep some windows floating:

; Get window style WinGet, S, Style, A if (S & 0x00C00000) { ; If not borderless, toggle all: ; 0xC00000:border, 0x40000:resize border, 0x00000200:WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE WinSet, Style, -0xC40200, A Winset, Alwaysontop, On, A } else { WinSet, Style, +0xC40200, A Winset, Alwaysontop, Off, A }

You can automatize more by hooking to events like OnMessage(WM_DISPLAYCHANGE, "displayChange") which will trigger the function when you move from tablet to portrait mode: just adapt the dimensions.

Look on the forums and you will find plenty of such examples. I've now moved to Linux and roughly replicated some of my setting using hyprland (wayland), but there are many things I miss from AHK

BTW, for the dlls, here's an example of how on Windows 10 the taskbar could be programmatically changed to small icons, then refreshed:

  DllCall("ntoskrnl.exe\RtlFillMemoryUlong", UInt,&area + 0, UInt,4, UInt,0)
  DllCall("ntoskrnl.exe\RtlFillMemoryUlong", UInt,&area + 4, UInt,4, UInt,0)
  DllCall("ntoskrnl.exe\RtlFillMemoryUlong", UInt,&area + 8, UInt,4, UInt,A_ScreenWidth)
  DllCall("ntoskrnl.exe\RtlFillMemoryUlong", UInt,&area + 12,UInt,4, UInt,Top)
  DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt,0x2F, UInt,0, UInt,&area, UInt,0)
