If you’re still using XP or Vista (and 55% of you are!) and you have more than one monitor, I bet you’re pretty tired of having to use your mouse to move application windows from monitor to monitor. Especially if you tend to keep your windows maximized. You have to click to shrink the window, then you have to draaaaaag it across your desktop, then you have to click again to re-maximize it. Not a big deal… unless you’re doing it over and over again. Then it’s just annoying. Wouldn’t it be easier just to press a couple keys instead?

If you’re using Windows 7, and you have more than one monitor I bet you’re pretty excited about the native keyboard shortcuts that move windows around your desktop. You can even drag a maximized window around without having to un-maximize it first! Pretty cool. But how often have you found that you need to move application 1 to monitor 2 AND application 2 to monitor 1? You know, just swap ‘em. Sure, it’s not that big of a deal to move one and then the other. But wouldn’t it be cool if there was a keyboard shortcut to do that in all in one shabang?

QuickShift is your answer. It enables you to keep your hands on your keyboard by setting fully-customizable global hotkeys that resize, relocate, and reposition application windows. Want to instantly swap the two top-most windows from the two most recently used monitors? No problem. Want to compare two documents side by side? Easy. These functions along with all the basics you’d expect—such as minimizing, maximizing, restoring, and moving to another monitor—are all here. Lightweight and minimalistic, without needless extras. Best of all, it’s totally FREE*!
