I've been using Spectacle to resize windows, but I realize this is silly, since I already have Keyboard Maestro. But there's one feature that I don't know how to replicate in Keyboard Maestro: you can press the same keyboard shortcut several times and have the window resized in different ways. For…

This can be done fairly easily with a Switch/Case action and a variable tracking which window size to set the next time the macro is run. Here's one for the left side of the screen that should behave how you describe; I imagine you should be able to adapt it to the other sides as well without too mu…

The down side if tracking how many times you have triggered the macro like that is the need to reset it at some point. For example, if you press ⌥⌘Left Arrow, and then half an hour later press it again, you don't expect it go to 1/3 size. There are a couple of improvements that can be made: Have…

Great suggestion. Revised, tested, and confirmed to work nicely: Resize Window By Half and Thirds (Left Side).kmmacros (4.7 KB) [image] EDIT: Tried slimming the macro down just a bit more by eliminating the variable altogether and using only calculations.

A problem that I only just realized is that it has to work across different apps, so if I am in BBEdit "maximized" and press ⌥⌘Left Arrow then I want it to go 50%, but then if I switch to Finder and it is "maximized" and press ⌥⌘Left Arrow I still want it to go to 50%, not 33% just because the last …

Ah. so here's an interesting tidbit… what happens when an app refuses to go to 33% of the width of the screen? For example, on my 12" MacBook, I can't get Safari to go that narrow, which means that @gglick 's method didn't work for Safari, but did work for Finder and other apps that don't enforce a …

@peternlewis - ah, going to need some more help here… when I tried to do the same thing for the right side, I get the 50% easy enough, but when I used this to reduce the size to 33%: SCREENVISIBLE(Main,MidX) SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Top) SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Width)*33% SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Height) it resize…

Yes, because the left coordinate is still MidX (middle). Instead, use: SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Left,66%) That is a short form equivalent to: SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Left) + 66% * SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Width) (MidX is just 50% instead of 66%).

[image] tjluoma: This still isn't foolproof. The Keyboard Maestro editor also won't go less than 50% of the width of my screen, so when it tries to resize to 33% it fails, and stays at 50% which means it never gets back to 66%. Not sure how to fix that. Yes, lots of windows have width minimum…
