What is snap? WIN10 System window Snap function detailed

In the WIN10, the snap function has been further improved. In the WINDOWS10 preview, many users have already experienced the snap feature of the upgraded version. Now Microsoft's official blog details this feature. Because Win10 can better unify the WIN32 application and Windows application (original Modern) window mode, Microsoft combines the user's usage of window operation in these years, introduced the snap of the upgraded version. In addition to inheriting win7/win8.1 features, snap in Win10 can better accommodate high-resolution devices, multiple monitors, touch screen devices, and 2-in-1 devices.

　　SNAP assistance

This feature is developed on the basis of traditional aero snap. In Win7, when you drag a window to the left or right side of the screen, it only makes the current window occupy half the screen, without affecting the other windows. In Win10, after doing the same thing, if there are more than one window, the system lets you choose a window that occupies the other half of the screen.

　　Corner Snap

This snap form is an extension of the traditional Aero Snap to accommodate high resolution large screen user operations. As the name suggests, as long as the window dragged to the screen 4 corner, the window will become the screen One-fourth size docked in the corresponding corner, which allows the larger-scale equipment more efficient arrangement of Windows occupy the screen space.

In addition, use the win key + top, bottom, left, right arrow keys to adjust the size and shape of the selected window, applicable to all the snap forms mentioned above.

　　Snap Fill

In win8/win8.1, the user can easily adjust each modern application to occupy the screen proportion, but the traditional desktop application can not realize this kind of proportional automatic adjustment, need the user to manually adjust to realize. In Win10, Microsoft will extend this intelligent mode to desktop applications. Specifically, when you use Snap mode to manipulate a window, and then restore the original size, the system will record just the snap operation. At this point, if you use Snap to another window, the system automatically fills in the current available screen space. If the current window is very large, the function is very obvious.

　　Multi-Monitor SNAP support

In Win10, you can implement the SNAP function in multiple display modes. In other words, each display edge is independent, you can achieve the Snap window effect on each monitor, this arrangement can make the multiple display user more reasonable and convenient arrangement window.

　　Flat mode and snap on Tablet PC and 2-in-1 devices

Win8 is the first operating system that allows a tablet computer to perform multitasking, matched by Snap window throttling. In Windows 8.1, two applications can be 50/50, 70/30, and 62/38, or you can use other custom proportions.

In the Win10 flat mode, you can use the snap arrangement pattern similar to the Win8.1. According to the data collected by Microsoft from Win8.1, the use of the default ratio and manual arrangements for the proportion of users accounted for about half of the user, so Microsoft intends to Win10 flat mode in the application of the screen as far as possible one-step, and the same mode of operation with Win8.1. Microsoft says it will further improve the use of this experience.

Not only that, but now desktop applications can also use snap features in flat-panel mode. And after entering and exiting the model, the system provides the window layout you might like to avoid affecting your work continuity. In addition, Snap assist is more convenient in flat-panel mode and can experience the same as desktop mode.
