HyperDock, let Mac's window fly

Three years ago, I wrote an article about the Aero effect under Windows 7, and I ended up trying to elicit a hyperdock application that could produce a similar function on Mac OS, but this drag dragged to the release of Windows 10. There is no concern about whether Windows has a very rich and useful function, after all, the last 4 years, Mac is the work and the daily use of computers, can find practical software and tools on the Mac to improve the efficiency of the practical significance. The memory of Windows only leaves Visual Studio and Viso, but everything can always find a similar substitute.

Although it has been a long time, but in the past few years, HyperDock also has more promotion, and has not stepped into such as the message notification software growl, support multi-tab Totalfinder and so on, in the MAC system several upgrades are integrated into the system, Let users feel that installing these programs becomes superfluous. While many other free or slightly cheaper programs can also show aero effects, they are less comprehensive and practical than hyperdock. So although HyperDock charges $9.99, still feel worth owning.

HyperDock official only introduced a very simple function and basic operation, in fact, it can do far more than its listed. After all these years of use, I have a much more functional hyperdock. So to complete so many unfinished articles, to share HyperDock to Mac users, especially the developers want it to bring you an efficient development experience.

Window previews and quick desktop switching

Before the introduction of Windows Aero in the mention of one of the features of Aero Peek, it can be in the mouse Hover preview of the window, so that you can not switch the window to see the content on it, reduce the use of +tab keys. If you like me, too. With multiple desktops (desktop), HyperDock also displays the number of the desktop on which the program window is located on the Small preview window, and if it is minimized, there are specific markings.

If you want to move the window to a specific desktop, no more laborious drag, just hover the mouse over the small window, and then press the number key will be the designated window to the number of the table should be numbered.

For the mouse also has a specific effect, when the small window on the scroll wheel will be minimized the window, scroll up the window to go to the face of the current desktop display.

Direct Control Program

HyperDock on the official website it can be directly in the preview of the small window to control itunes, in addition to press the number key can be played on the track to evaluate the star. The calendar program for the system can also see the events of the day directly.

However, the control of the program is limited to these two, hope that in the future may be more use and convenient operation of other programs, or support custom plug-ins, I believe if Apple "pacified" it should provide the API to other programs to customize the function.

Window Layout Management

Aero snap is the most used feature, and when you need to transfer files between several windows, or if you want to view two documents at the same time, it becomes very intuitive after the left and right columns are placed. HyperDock not only up and down and full screen, but also can be divided left upper left lower right upper right. This makes it possible to use space more efficiently when the display screen is large.

The way snap works is also simple, as long as you drag the window to the edge of the screen, waiting for a moment (that is, the so-called snap), the window will automatically resize to fit the position. The left and right edges allow the window to occupy the left half of the screen, the top edge makes the window full-screen, the bottom edge so that the window occupies a large area in the middle, close to four corner of the range will make the window in the corner occupy 1/4 screen size.

If you have more than one desktop, be careful not to stay on the left and right edge for too long, because more than a certain amount of time may bring the window to the next table.

Keyboard control Window Position

Many Daniel are keyboard parties, like to do most of the task with the keyboard from the mouse. HyperDock also supports the use of shortcut keys to control the location of the window, the default activation key is? + ? (Control + option) plus the key at the specified position.

The left and RIGHT arrow keys can be fixed on the left side of the window, the upper arrow allows the window to switch between the full screen or the upper half screen, the lower arrow to let the window in the middle or the middle part of the full screen.

If your keyboard also has a calculator keyboard, place the window through the layout of the numeric keypad above.

Preview window to open or close

In the preview of the small window, you can also see the Close button, a direct click can close the corresponding window, and click on the upper right corner of the + sign can be directly on the current desktop to create a new window.

Shortcut key control for the preview window

Is it too much trouble to click the button? Then use the keyboard! When the mouse hover in the preview of the small window, and then press the letter key will have different effects produced, we slowly experience it.

If the reader in the use of Mac also worry about window placement, do not want to drag the edge repeatedly, then try HyperDock it.
