*=========================================================================*

== INTRODUCTION ==

AltSnap gives you the ability to move and resize your windows in a new way.

When AltSnap is running, you can simply hold down the Alt key and then click

and drag any window.

This behavior already exists in Linux and other operating systems,

and AltSnap was made with the mission to copy that behavior to the

Windows platform.

___________

MOVE WINDOW

You can Move a Window by pressing Alt and using (by default) the left mouse

button. If you double-click it will maximize/restore the window, and if you

hold Shift while double-clicking, it will roll/unroll the window on its

title bar.

_____________

RESIZE WINDOW

You can use (by default) the right mouse button to resize windows.

Imagine the window divided into nine squares, and you will resize the

corner nearest to where you press. The corners are slightly bigger

than the middle regions by default (adjust using AltSnap.ini).

____________________________________________

/ @ Title bar | | _ O X \

|===============+============+===============|

| top | top | top |

| left | | right |

|---------------+------------+---------------|

| | | |

| left | center | right |

| | | |

|---------------+------------+---------------|

| | | |

| bottom | | bottom |

| left | bottom | right |

|_______________|____________|_______________|

If you double-click (double right click) these regions, the window will be

moved to the respective corner on your screen (like Aero Snap), so you can

quickly arrange your windows to fit on the screen. If you press Shift in

addition, the respective window side will be extended to the monitor side.

Finally if you press Ctrl and double-click on the center region it will

maximize/restore the window.

The center region can be configured to behave differently (see options).

_____________

OTHER ACTIONS

AltSnap can be configured quite finely You can set any button to perform

any action among a list: Move, Resize, Close, Minimize, Maximize, Lower,

AlwaysOnTop, Borderless, Center, Roll, Menu, Kill and Nothing.

By default the middle mouse button is configured for the Maximize action,

that maximizes/restores the window. Press Shift to minimize.

____________________________

TRICKS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

* AltSnap will not bring windows to front by default. Press Ctrl to bring the

window to front, or configure AltSnap to do that automatically.

* AltSnap will mimic Aero Snap by default, so try dragging windows to the

edges of your monitor. Corners work too!

* If you use multiple monitors, you can hold Ctrl or Shift while dragging to

trap the window within the current monitor. This is particularly useful if

you want to Aero Snap at edges between monitors.

* While dragging, windows borders will snap to each-other. This behavior can

be changed in the config. If you disable it you can still press Shift while

dragging to force windows borders to snap to each other.

* If you have automatic snapping enabled, you can temporarily disable it by

pressing the space bar while dragging.

* If you are moving a window you can press the right mouse button to toggle

the maximized state.

* If you use the scroll wheel to change the volume, you can hold shift to

increase the rate the volume is changed. If you use the scroll wheel to

change the transparency, you can hold shift to decrease the rate the

transparency is changed.

* If you have Scroll inactive windows enabled, you can hold the Shift key to

scroll horizontally. Note that this relies on that the program has support

for normal horizontal mouse wheel scrolling, which not all programs have.

* If you can't move a particular window, try elevating AltSnap.

Normal programs can't interact with programs that are started with

administrator privileges.

* If you need to Alt+Click on a program and do not want to blacklist the

program, you can use the Winkey instead of Alt. If this is not enough

or if you do not want to use the Winkey, you can hit Ctrl and release it

while keeping Alt pressed and then click.

* A key combo can be used in order to activate AltSnap, this allows using

Alt+Winkey to drag windows and leaves alone the Win+Click and the Alt+Click

that some programs may require.

* Try to add the Shift modifier key for any action, usually it has an effect.

_____________

CONFIGURATION

To change the configuration from default, double-click on the tray icon, and

you will be presented with a lot of choices.

If you want to go further into the configuration, open the AltSnap.ini file

by middle-clicking on the tray icon. You will see all the option there with

a short description.

_________

LANGUAGES

AltSnap is fully translated in French, Italian and mostly translated in many

other languages. All translations are simple ini files encoded in UTF-16 LE.

If you want to create or improve a translation, just add or modify the

associated ini file in the Lang directory, and no not forget to send it to

me via a GitHub pull request/issue or PM me, so that everyone can enjoy your

translation. You can use "Lang\_en_US baseline.txt" as a starting point if

you want to translate everything to a new language.

______

UPDATE

To avoid useless bloat and potential vulnerability AltSnap no longer

auto-updates. You can check for new versions on the GitHub page

If you want automation, install altsnap via the chocolatey package.

-install with> choco install altsnap

-update with> choco update altsnap

-uninstall with > choco uninstall altsnap

You can do the same with winget. Note that the chocolatey/winget package

may take a few days before getting updated.

_________

BLACKLIST

Sometime an AltSnap action interacts with a window you do not want.

For example if you use Alt+Click on a specific window and you do not want

AltSnap to move the window you can add the window name to the windows

blacklist. more details below:

All the list are coma separated and take no spaces before the coma.

A space can be present in the item itself or before the item.

- Process blacklist: List of programs names for which move/resize from

AltSnap as well as the scroll actions are disabled. Example: Notepad.exe

- Windows blacklist: List of windows with the title|class format for which

move/resize actions from AltSnap will be disabled

Example: Program Manager|Progman,|Shell_TrayWnd,*|Notepad

- Windows that should ignore the scroll action: List of windows with the

title|class format that for which the scroll action of AltSnap will not

apply. Example: *|Photoshop

- MDIs not to be treated as such: List of windows for which AltSnap will not

try to find MDI subwindow. This only applies if the Support MDI is enabled

and by default contains *|PPTFrameClass,*|MMCMainFrame which correspond to

the PowerPoint window and all the Microsoft Management application such as

the services.msc windows or the device drivers window.

- Process not to be paused or killed: Only applies for the Pause and kill

action when enabled on Alt+Shift+Pause of Ctrl+Alt+F4,

this are program names.

Program names are pretty straightforward to find. However a finer control can

be done using the window's title|class information; they can be found for a

specific window using the small target in the identify window section of the

Blacklist tab. You can include all the possible names by using the *|class

format. This is useful for most programs that have a non-constant title, for

example notepad's title is actually the name of the file you are currently

editing.

The other way around can be used and you can specify title|* which means that

all the windows that have this title regardless of their class name will be

blacklisted. This is a much less common usage.

The title can also be empty for example: |Shell_TrayWnd corresponds to the

Windows task bar and has an empty title.

Finally more blacklists can be found in the AltSnap.ini file:

- Snaplist: List of windows with the name|clas format to which other windows

should snap. By default windows that have no borders cannot be snapped to.

- MMBLower: List of windows that should not be lowered with mouse middle

click on the title bar. Default: *|CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS that

corresponds to the Windows Terminal window.

===========================================================================

== CHANGELOG ==

== AltSnap 1.60 ==

+ Added the `ZSnapMode` option in the [Zones] section of the ini file,

to change the strategy for choosing the zone zone on which the dragged

windows will snap. #405

Set to 0 to snap to the pointed zones (default, old behavior).

Set to 1 to snap to the zone which center is the nearest from cursor.

The second mode will be needed if you want to use overlapped zones.

+ The Test Window will now also display the mouse events.

+ The test Window will now have a full-screen mode (toggle with F11).

+ Added the `MenuShowEmptyLabelWin` Advanced option to display the windows

with empty titles inside the Windows list menu. #401 @mbartlett21

+ Add the **All windows list** action that will behave like the

Window list action but will even display windows outside the

current monitor. Thanks to @mbartlett21 for this. #384

+ You can now set `IgnoreMinMaxInfo` option in the Advanced section

of the ini file if you want to ba able to resize Windos beyond their

usual limits, Set to 0 (default) to always disable, set to 1 to ignore

the minimum size, 2 to ignore maximum size and 3 to ignore both. #374

+ You can set the `MenuShowOffscreenWin=1` in the [Advanced] section

of the ini file to still display windows in a windows menu even

if they are outside of any monitors. Thanks to @mbartlett21. #384

+ The *clear AltSnap state* key can now be set to any other key, using

the `ESCkeys` key list in the [Input] section of the ini file. Defalut

value is `1B` (ESCAPE), like with previous AltSnap versions. #386

* Fixed inconsistant key state leading to drag-free actions not working

and to blocked LMB in some cases. #392, #388.

* Fixed: Now FancyZones snapped Windows will be restored to their proper

dpi-scaled size. If this causes any issues for you you can always set

`FancyZone=2` in the [Zones] section to prevent scaling.

* Updated Chinese translation, thanks to @yatli,

Updated Polish translation, thanks to @xeophyte,

Updated German translation, thanks to @Ichisich

Updated French and Italian translations.

== AltSnap 1.59 ==

+ Now AltSnap will respect the system drag threshold. Use `DragThreshold`

value in the [Advanced] section of the ini file to determine when the

threshold will be respected. Possible values are:

0: disabled, like old AltSnap versions,

1: Enabled when restoring snapped window (default),

2: Always wait the drag threshold before moving the window,

3: Same than 2 but also applies to the resize action. #365

+ Generalized combo actions: Now you can select any action that will apply

if a move or a resize action was started. You can configure them in the

Mouse tab of the config dialog by selecting the **While moving** and

**While resizing** radio buttons. Those options are available via the

ini file in the [Input] section using the `M` and `R` sufixes.

ie: `MMBR=ExtendTNEdge`. Also an extra `B` sufix can be added for

alternate action (only available via ini). #217, #362.

+ Multiple *snap layouts* are now supported... #232

+ New `IScroll` blacklist in the `[Blacklist]` section of the ini file

That only applies to the Inactive scroll option. #351

+ Added the **Move/Extend to next edge** action, That will extend the next

edge from a snapped window, also available as keyboard shortcuts. #368

+ Added the `--help` option, also available as `-help` or `-?` or `/?`.

It will display a very short summary of available commands. #370

* Fixed: Now a hotclick will not always be blocked, It will be forwarded

in case no action was done. If you want a hotclick to always be blocked

set `AblockHotclick=1` in the `[Advanced]` section of the ini file.

* Fixed: Next/Previous stacked window keyboard shortcut no longer depends

on cursor position, unless you enabled **use pointed window**. #372

* Added the missing Next/Previous laser stacked window. #362

* Fix delay when forwarding a click in some cases. #352

* Fix button up being improperly blocked sometime. #355

* Fixed occasional crash when editing the config dialog.

* Updated German, Korean, French and Italian translations.

== AltSnap 1.58 ==

+ Tray icon theme support was added, put an icon theme in the Themes\

folder and then set `Theme=ThemeName` in the [General] secion of the ini

file. A theme is a folder containing three tray icons named: TRAY_OFF.ico,

TRAY_ON.ico, TRAY_SUS.ico. Thanks to @erasmion for supplying a theme,

You can try it with Theme=erasmion. #313

+ The maximum width in characters of an item in a window list menu can now

be set from 0-255 by the user using the `MaxMenuWidth` option in the

[Advanded] section of the ini file. Use 0 for unlimited, default is 80.

Thanks to @mbartlett21 for the pull request #341.

+ Side fraction can now be set independently from center fraction for more

flexible configuration. Have a look at the test window and play with those

values, accessible through the Advanced tab of the config dialog. #318

+ Blacklist were improved to allow a mix of both exe names and title|class.

You can now specify `exename.exe:title|class`. If you omit the ':' and '|'

the format is assumed to be an exe name only. If you only specify '|',

the exe check will be omitted and the format will be assumed to be

title|class, like it was the case before. Example: You want to blacklist

the `*|CabinetWClass` windows only if they are from explorer.exe, use:

`explorer.exe:*|CabinetWClass`.

+ New **Open ini file** option was added to the tray menu for easy access.

+ New: `MaxKeysNum` option can be set to specify the maximum number of

keys that can be pressed in order to activate AltSnap. This does not

apply to the keys that are pressed after activation, use the KillKeys

for this. Default value is 0 (unlimited). #324

* Fixed hotclicks not behaving properly for left and right mouse buttons

Now you can setup AltSnap to Move/Resize window with right click while

still being able to left click without drag. #340

* Fix Tray icon not displaying properly in some cases #315.

* Fix: No lines drawn in the test window when CenterFraction=0. #319

* Fix lockup when using hotclick on blacklisted window. Part of #334

* Styling options were fixed and AltSnap can now be build with -std=c99

-Wpedantic flags.

* TCHAR is now preferred over wchar_t so that code is more portable and

future proof

* Optimizations for ini file loading, this should reduce start time on

Slow media such as old HDD/CDRom/floppy.

* Updated German, French and Italian translations.

== AltSnap 1.57 ==

+ New keyboard actions to move the window in steps to each directions.

You have the choice between large steps and small steps. To setup the

size of the steps in pixels, use the `KBMoveStep` and `KBMoveSStep`

values in the [Advanced] section of the .ini file.

Default is 100 for large steps and 10 for small steps. #304

+ Now the *Restore Window* action is available as a mouse action and will

let you restore AltSnapped windows to their original size with a single

click. Setup as a titlebar action it can be used to better integrate

in the native snapping experiment. #292

+ Now the right mouse button can be used inside a menu item of a window

list to minimize the corresponding window. The middle mouse button will

close the window. he menu will remain opened. #290

+ Now the `NumberMenuItems` option can be set to 1 in the `[Advanced]`

section of the .ini file in order to number menu elements from 0-9

instead of A-Z. This applies to all windows list menu.

+ New: Window list action that list all windows on your monitors. It can

be an alternative to Alt+Tab. #298

+ New Laser stacked windows list action is now available as a mouse and

keyboard action previously it was only available with the shift modifier

on the Stacked windows list action.

+ New: You now have a *Send original click* option in the action menu

if you triggered it from the title bar. #302

+ New: You now have the **Movement Disabled** entry on the action menu

that will prevent AltSnap movement from happening in the window.

The flag can be enabled and disabled as desired for any window. #283

+ Now any keyboard shortcut can be setup to suspend/resume Altsnap. #283

+ New: AltSnap actions can now be Invoked from the command line. Actions

will behave like the corresponding keyboard action. AltSnap

must already be launched and the allow multiple instance option must be

disabled. Then you can Launch AltSnap:

`AltSnap.exe -apACTION` to perform the ACTION on the Pointed window

`AltSnap.exe -afACTION` to perform the ACTION on the Foreground window

example: AltSnap.exe -afAlwaysOnTop will toggle the topmost flag on the

foreground window. #285

* Now title or class blacklist item can match start or end with a `*`

ie: `*ttl|class*` or `*ttl|*class` or `ttl*|*class` or `ttl*|class*`

You cannot have a star at both ends of an item though. Previously

matching was limited to the `*ttl|class*` form. #305

* Now with the `EndSendKey` option in the [Input] section of the ini file,

you can specify which key will be sent at the end of a movement to

prevent menu being selection or the window menu from popping up

The default value is `EndSendKey=11` that corresponds to the Ctrl

key that is used since ever in AltSanp and AltDrag. #309

* Try as much as possible to Maximize/restore windows asynchronously to

avoid mouse locking.

* Fixed Stacked windows menu font is now the current system menu font

instead of the dialog font. #284

* Fixed: Crash in the Stacked window list. #284

* Fixed: Pressing ESC when cancelling a stack window menu will no longer

focus the first window of the list. #284

* Fixed: Some crashes in low memory situation.

* Fixed: The hooks.dll file will only be loaded from AltSnap's directory.

* Fixed: #239 Window transparency would sometime not be restored when

using the Opacity while moving option.

* Fixed: #295, Windows Terminal will no longer minimizes when selecting

the Minimize all other windows option.

* Fixed: Removes the topmost indicator or display the context menu when

the click is released instead of down for more consistent UI experience.

This will also allow to handle drags in the future if needed.

== AltSnap 1.56 ==

* Fixed Move windows with long left click option (1.55 regression).

* GUI: Minor adjustments to avoid clipping of the topmost indicator option

in the Advanced tab.

* Adjustments to the French translation by @TroudhuK

== AltSnap 1.55 ==

+ New action, you can now pop up a **Stacked window list** that will show

the list of windows that are stacked with the pointed window. You can

then select the window you want and it will be set to the foreground.

Shift extends the stack to all windows that are under the mouse pointer.

+ New action: **Next/Prev stacked window**, available as mouse action and

as wheel action. Again add shift to extend the stack.

+ New: Now an indicator for windows that were set AlwaysOnTop can be set.

Check the **Show an indicator on always on top windows** option in the

Advanced tab. The indicator will also show a list of other AlwaysOnTop

windows when right-clicked. You can also set the `PinColor` option in

the [Input] section of the .ini and the `PinRate` option in the

[Performance] section of the .ini can be used to set the color of the

indicator and the rate at which it gets refreshed.

+ New: You can now setup any keyboard shortcut for any action.

Note that this creates system level keyboard shortcuts and you will be

unable to setup a shortcut that already existed (this is a good thing).

Go to the Keyboard tab of the config dialog, select the option for which

you want to setup a shortcut, then edit it manually or click the

Pick keys button and press your shortcut, then hit the Save button.

You can decide whether those keyboard-only actions should apply to the

pointed or to the focused window. #264, #268

You will need to reconfigure Kill on Ctrl+Alt+F4 and such.

+ New keyboard-only actions to move/extend the window to the surrounding

zones in the snap layout.

+ New: Now you can set up `MoveUpT` and `ResizeUpT` actions to be

performed when the click was performed inside the titlebar.

CHECK YOUR CONFIG, as those options did not exist before and

will default to Nothing. The options were also added to the GUI.

+ New: Two Zoom window action that can be setup for a mouse wheel.

The first one will resize only vertically/horizontally when the

mouse points at the pure side sectors, and the second one will

always zoom proportionally instead. In addition you can adjust

the fraction by which the window is zoomed using the `ZoomFrac`

and `ZoomFracShift` options. #239

+ New: To fix menu not getting canceled in some cases, you can add the

`DragSendsAltCtrl` option in the [Advanced] section of the ini. #255

+ New now you can set the value of `BLUpperBorder` in the `[Advanced]`

section of the .ini file and it will select in the same fashion than

`BLCapButtons` but this time only for the top resizing border. Default

value is also 3 to prevent left and right button to trigger AltSnap in

the top resizing borders. `BLCapButtons` now concerns only the caption

buttons and no longer the top resizing border.

+ Now you can customize the action menu by adding or removing menu items

using the `ACMenuItems` option in the `[Advanced]` section of the .ini

file. Default value is -1 for all menu entry. #240

+ Updated German translation thanks to @Ichisich

* GUI: Now the `SnapGap` option is available through the GUI. #200

* Fixed #150: The top owner window is now used for the always on top

action. This avoids some parts of the program not being affected.

* Fixed #235: Inconsistent focusing of windows.

* Fixed #274: The window is now refocused when the action menu is canceled.

* Fixed: More reliable prevention of menu activation and/or start menu

popping up problems.

* Fixed: Window maximum and minimum sized would be ignored in center

resizing mode, leading to window running outside the screen when

resizing it beyond their maximum size.

* Fixed: Focus windows when dragging not working in some cases. #250

* Fixed: The titlebar Action menu not disappearing on defocusing in some

cases. #263.

* Fixed now if the owner window has an empty RECT it will no longer be

used to hold the topmost indicator (ie: ForceToolkit main window).

== AltSnap 1.54 ==

+ New: You can now set `UseZones=9` in the `[Zones]` section of the .ini

file and Windows will snap to the layout without having to press Shift.

Pressing shift or hitting space will disable zone-snapping instead. #219

+ Now if you use Zones, and disable the **Toggle maximize state with the

resize button while moving** advanced option, then Zone snapping will be

toggled by any secondary buttons, like with FancyZones. #219

+ New: Now you can set the opacity of the hollow rectangle (0-255) used

when the show window content while dragging option is disabled or when

FullWin=0. to do this you must modify the `TransWinOpacity` value in the

`[Performance]` section of the .ini file. #223

+ New now you can set the value of `BLCapButtons` in the `[Advanced]`

section of the .ini file to choose for each mouse button if the titlebar

action will be or not extended to the caption buttons and the top

resizing border. Use `BLCapButtons=0` if you want all buttons to

consider the extended caption and use -1 for none of them. The default

value is 3 to avoid the extended caption for the left and right mouse

buttons so that AltSnap avoids interaction with the minimize, maximize

and close caption buttons ([_] [O] [X]). If you are unsure stick to

the default value if you want less titlebar detection use -1. #236

* Now a checkmark in the action menu will indicate the always on top state

of the pointed window. Same for Maximized and Borderless flags (#184).

* Changed: Now when auto Snapping is enabled at the maximum level, then

pressing shift will disable snapping instead of doing nothing.

* Changed: Now several keys can be selected for the alternate action

ie: the `ModKey` value in the `[Input]` section is a key list and works

like the Hotkeys value. Same was applied to `HScrollKey`. (#207)

* Fixed: Now smarter areo-snapping will be properly re-enabled when you

release Shift. (#211)

* Fixed: Snapping to the layout will no longer ignore the Max snapping

speed option. (#218)

* Fixed multiple Action menu popping up in some cases. (#213)

* Fixed some stuck mouse buttons in some cases when using the Move

Windows with a long left click option.

* Fixed #220, Minic aero snapping is no longer necessary for Snapping

to the snap layout (Zones).

* Fixed: Modifying the config will no longer reset the `UseZones` value.

* Fixed #226, #229: Now the `DWMWA_CAPTION_BUTTON_BOUNDS` rectangle is

used to ensure that we are inside a titlebar and not caption buttons.

This fixes an annoying Windows 10 bug.

* Fixed, now the common french e dans l'o `œ` character is available in

the default extended character menu (LATIN SMALL/CAPITAL LIGATURE OE).

* Updated Chinese translation, thanks to @yatli.

== AltSnap 1.53 ==

* New: An extra key menu can now be enabled in the Keyboard tab of the

config and a popup menu with additional characters will show up when

you press a key from A-Z for a long time. This is similar to the way

Android and MacOS behave. The menu entry can be selected by pressing

the accelerator key (first column), or using the usual arrows/mouse.

The menu can be configured individually for each language (#181).

* New: Now any key can be mapped to mouse button 6-20, this is useful if

you have more than 5 mouse buttons and want to use your extra buttons with

AltSnap. You can first bind your extra mouse buttons to keys that you

would never use ie F13-F24, or some multimedia keys or even in some cases

to undefined virtual-keys codes, then add those virtual key codes in the

`XXButtons` key list (space separated hexadecimal values). Then those key

will be turned in MB6, 7, 8... events in the order of the list, finally

you can map an action to the corresponding mouse button, in the [input]

section of the .ini file. I advise to also add those buttons to the

`Hotclicks` key list. Finally keep in mind that any keys added to the

`XXButtons` list will be unusable outside of AltSnap.

Check issue #175 for the feature development and more tricks.

* New: the `Bottommost` list was added to the `[Blacklist]` section of the

ini file. When AltSnap lowers a window, it will try to keep it above all

those Bottommost windows. Default value is `*|RainmeterMeterWindow` for

the Rainmaker skin windows (fixes #189).

* New: You can now replace the all directions center resize mode by the

**Closest side** mode that picks the closest side resizing mode instead.

The test window will be updated accordingly (see issue #193).

* New: Now pressing Ctrl+N in a test window will open a New one.

* Fixed: Now maximizing a window with the Action without click option will

no longer prevent further movement.

* Fixed: The long click move option now works when left and right buttons

are swapped, it will also no longer interact with blacklisted windows.

* Fixed MDI ancestor detection to avoid AltSnap freezing on WinTabber.

* Fixed: `MinAlpha` and `AeroSpeedTau` being ignored (1.52 regression).

* Fixed: #183 Titlebar move action would not work properly when no primary

action was selected.

* Fixed: #179 Smarter aero snapping mode will always consider the current

window size/position and ignore the original AltSnapping.

* Fixed: Now it will remain possible to snap to windows that were made

borderless using AltSnap (partially fixes #185).

* Changed: minor code refactoring, inducing even more exe size reduction.

* Updated German translation thanks to @Ichisich, updated Korean translation

thanks to @1kko.

== AltSnap 1.52 ==

* New: Now a help message is added to the test window to indicate how to

setup snap layout (zones).

* Changed: some code refactoring and unification inducing size reduction.

* Fixed: Lag when dragging and resizing some programs (issue #160)

* Fixed: #172, drag was locked down when combining and action and hotclick.

Also, now if a hotclick is combined with the Move or Resize action then a

long click will be forwarded to the pointed program is no drag occurred.

This long click will not even be necessary if you enabled the

**Avoid blocking Alt+Click** option in the General tab of the config.

* Fixed: #124, A window will be restored to its original position when

using the Move+Resize click combo without a drag.

* Fixed: bugs in rolling and snapping code.

* Updated French and Italian translations

* Updated German translation, thanks to @Ichisich.

== AltSnap 1.51 ==

* Fixed regression that would make it impossible to select alternate action

for mouse button 4 and 5.

* Fixed: Now the LongClick Move will no longer trigger if the cursor is

pointing toward a system menu or a scroll bar or any of the caption

buttons [?][_][O][X], in the titlebar.

== AltSnap 1.50 ==

* New: Major changes in the title bar handling. A set of specific actions

can be configured for each mouse button to apply when clicking on the

title bar. Those actions can be configured to be used without pressing

the hotkey if you want. This replaces all special title bars options:

`LowerWithMMB`, `RollWithTBScroll`, `NormRestore`, `TitlebarMove`,

now removed. **CHECK YOUR CONFIG** when you install this update...

* New: Now, if you perform a long Alt+Click, the click will be forwarded

to the pointed program, simulating a normal Alt+Click. You can also check

the **Avoid blocking Alt+Click** option (General tab) and the Click will

always be redirected, this will also disable all double-click actions.

* New: A specific action can be configured when the Move or Resize action

is release without performing a drag, so for example you can set

`MoveUp=Minimize` in the `[Input]` section of the ini file and then

Alt+Move+drag will just move the window as normal, but Alt+Move+Release

will minimize the window. By default it needs to be a long click but if

you check the avoid blocking Alt+Click option then any click will work.

Same for the resize action using `ResizeUp` option. You also have the

Alternate versions for each one with the B sufix. Also if you Hold Ctrl

while releasing the click the action will not be performed.

* New: Now the Resize+Move click combo will snap the window to the

corresponding corner (similar to Move+Resize => Maximize).

* New: Mute sounds action to toggle mute state on Win2k+.

* New: Snap to side/corner action is available, and is equivalent to the

double-right-click aero-snapping.

* New: The `RezTimer` option was added to the `[Performance]` section of

the ini file and permits to move the cursor only at the default event

time resolution (every 16ms). It can be combined with FullWin=0 and is

very low on resources consumption. It is an advised mode if your monitor

refresh rate is only 60Hz. If the option is used then all the other

rates are ignored.

* French, Italian, translations are up to date and thanks to @1kko for

Korean Translation and thanks to @Ichisich for German translation

* Fixed: now the config dialog will show up in the corner your cursor is

when you click on the tray icon.

* Fixed: now the borderless action will save the old window style.

Also Windows that have been set borderless by AltSnap will still be

considered resizable.

* Fixed: Colors of the *Test Window* now depends on system colors.

* Fixed: Now the `RefreshRate` delay is almost millisecond accurate, it used

to be 16 ms accurate, rendering it useless on high-spec computers.

* Fixed: the show window content while dragging will no longer be ignored

on newer Windows versions. The `FullWin` option in the `[Performance]`

section of the .ini file can be set to 1: force on, 0: Force hollow,

and 2: Autodetect based on Windows setting.

The color of the hollow rectangle can be set in hex RGB via the

`FrameColor` option in the [Input] section, default is 80 00 80.

* Fixed: Alt+Shift will be blocked, by sending Ctrl, if an action occurred.

This avoids unwanted keymap changes.

* Fixed: Volume action now simply sends the multimedia key events.

It should work on Win2k+, and will show a visual indicator on Win10.

* Fixed: Sometime a maximized window could become impossible to restore

with AltSnap.

== AltSnap 1.49 ==

* New: New way of arranging your windows: Grid mode. It replaces the snap

layout with a simple grid than can be configured in the ini file. You can

Set `UseZones=3` in the [Zones] section of the .ini file to enable grid

mode then you can set the number of grid lines/columns using the

`GridNx/GridNy` options. Gor Grid mode I suggest to set UseZones=7 (3+4)

so that the window get extended without having to press Ctrl.

* New option to disable AltSnap on Maximized windows (advanced tab)

You can also use the `BLMaximized` option in the .ini file.

* New: AltSnap can now be activated with a long mouse click, check the

corresponding option at the bottom of the Mouse tab. Default long click

delay is the system double-click delay, it can also be manually set via

the `LongClickMove` option in the ini file. Only the left click for

movement is supported, it was suggested by @actforjason.

* GUI: `Smarter Aero Snap dimensions` and `Never restore AltSnapped windows`

options were added to the GUI so they can be configured easily.

* Fix: When using the Kill Action on a suspended window, AltSnap will send

the WM_CLOSE message and the terminate confirmation should appear. For now

it is impossible to really kill the process via AltSnap because its

window is Ghosted as soon as windows detects the process is hung.

* Fix: Never restore AltSnapped windows option can be combined with Smart

aero snap dimensions, and perform properly (#133)

* Fix: Now all keys from A-Z are in the Killkeys list to avoid interaction

with system shortcuts that might put AltSnap in an inconsistent state

ie: Win+L, Win+V...

* Fix: The Close Action now behaves correctly on Excel.

* Fix: Maximum number of zones in the snap layout was raised to 2048.

* Updated German and Chinese translations.

== AltSnap 1.48 ==

* New action: Minimize all other windows, similar to aero-shake, but available

as a mouse action, and in the action menu.

* New: Now when using the **Lower windows by middle-clicking on title bars**

option Ctrl+Middle-click in the title bar will toggle the Always on top

state and so will Middle-click on the Min/Max/Close buttons.

* New: `SnapGap` value can be set into the `[Advanced]` section of the ini

file and will set an additional gap between snapped windows/monitor sides.

You can put a negative value if you want an overlap. Default is 0

* New: `Shiftkeys` keys list was added in the [input section of the ini file,

to setup another key instead of the Shift key. The default is `A0 A1`,

for left and right shift but this is now a customizable key list.

* New: `ShiftSnaps` option was added in the `[Advanced]` section of the ini

in order to enable/disable the border-border snapping activation with the

shift key (default is 1).

* Fixed: Now when resizing several windows at the same time the DeferPos

windows functions are used to minimize flicker.

* Fixed: Now when disabling window to window snapping with space while

dragging, the smart window snapping will also be disabled.

* Fixed AltSnap would block Alt+Space if no drag occurred, this was a problem

when using **Action without click**.

* Fixed: smart aero-snapping only taking into account windows snapped on the

other side of the monitor.

* Fixed: non-resizable windows will longer be maximized with right click

while moving.

* Fixed Maximize Vertically action that would erase the old restore state.

* Fixed some crash when launching again AltSnap with a previous instance.

* Fixed Tray icon handling under Win10.

* Changed: Now when the space key is pressed for a movement the snap sate

will be toggled between no snapping and all border-borders snapping.

== AltSnap 1.47 ==

* Project was renamed from **AltDrag** to **AltSnap** to avoid conflict with

Original AltDrag from Stefan Sundin. Old choco package will no longer be

updated and will be given back as soon as Stefan asks for it.

I advise to all users to uninstall AltDrag and install AltSnap.

* New: Support of Snap Layouts, also called Zones. All associated settings

are in the `[Zones]` section of the .ini file **Read carefully:**

1) Check the **Snap to layout** option (`UseZones=1` in the .ini).

2) Configure your layout by opening several *Test Windows* from the tray.

3) Arrange those windows across all of your monitors as you you wish.

4) Go again to the tray menu and hit **Save test windows as snap layout**

5) A confirmation dialog will ask you if you want to save, hit yes.

Now you will be able using the Shift key to sanp the window you move to the

pointed zone, Add the Ctrl key and drag the cursor to extend the windows

across several zones. If the cursor is close from two or more zones then

the window will also be extended to several zones. Use the `InterZone`

value to adjust this threshold distance in pixels (default 32).

* New: Added the **Restore FancyZones snapped windows** option in the

Advanced tab and `FancyZone` option in the `[Zones]` section of the ini.

set it to 1 if you want AltSnap to be able to restore windows that were

snapped using PowerToys' FancyZones. This only applies to x86_64 builds

of AltSnap. I highly recommend this to FancyZones users.

* New added a `AResize` whitelist in the `[Blacklist]` section of the .ini

file in order to force altdrag to resize windows that do not have the

`WS_THICKFRAME` style, when the Resize all windows option is disabled.

* New: Added the option to move windows via AltDrag without hotkey,

by clickling on the titlebar. It is similar to the **hooks windows**

feature that was present in the original AltDrag and can be activated

via the `TitlebarMove` option in the `[Advanced]` section of the .ini.

* New: Now a **modifier key** can be set instead of the invert Move/resize

key in order to use an lternatye set of customizable actions for all

buttons. They can be configured in the Mouse tab of the config dialog,

or manually in the .ini, using a B sufix for buttons eg LMBB=Resize.

* New: Maximize Vertically action, use Shift to maximize horizontally.

* Changed default `RefreshRate` to 0 to favor smoothest movement instead

of performances also default is now `MoveRate=1` and `ResizeRate=2`.

* Restore informations for snapped windows are now stored in Windows

properties. This simplifies the code, and allows altdrag to be restarted

without loosing restore info, also restore informations become shared

between different AltSnap instances.

* Updated to tdm-gcc-10.3 for i386 and x86_64 builds with one compiler.

* Updated Chinese translation by *Yatao Li* (zh_CN.ini).

* Updated German translation by *Ichisich* (de_DE.ini).

* Fixed: Sometime the mouseup would triger a menu after an action.

* Fixed: potential crash using the config pannel.

* Fixed: display maximize/restore animations when using the maximize action

* Fixed: avoid to play the minimize/restore animations when unrolling

a maximized-rolled window.

* Fixed: Now cloacked windows will no longer be snapped to, this also

prevents windows from snapping to others through different virtual

desktops under Win10.

* Fixed: When disabling the "Resize all windows" option, then windows would

no longer snap properly, even if they were resizeable.

== AltDrag 1.46 ==

* Fix -elevate command line parameter being ignored. this also fixes the

**Elevate to administrator priviledge** option for autostart.

* Fix major bug: AltDrag would capture the wheel input when Alt Was pressed

even if `Nothing` was selected as wheel action.

* Minor code tuneup

== AltDrag 1.45 ==

+ New: Now the `ScrollLockState` option in the [Input] section of the ini

file can be set to 3 to enable AltDrag only when Scroll Lock is off.

* Fixed: Now the `SWP_NOSIZE` and flag is used when simply moving a window.

This prevents rolled windows from partially unrolling. Also the

SWP_ASYNCWINDOWPOS flag was added where applicable and this fixes

an ugly Win 10 bug that would changes the borders of some moved window.

* Fixed: When using maximizing a window by snapping to the top,

it would sometime prevent further movement when FullWin=0.

* Fixed a last minute bug introduced in 1.44 that would restore rolled

windows as soon as you moved them.

* Fixed: Now when AltDrag is suspended with the Scroll lock state option,

The notification icon will change.

* Fixed some stuck alt bugs thanks to **scx**.

== AltDrag 1.44 ==

+ **Smart aero dimensions** was added in the General Tab of the config.

With this option checked (default) AltDrag will adjust the dimensions of

the snapped window to the other snapped windows that were resized.

Also snapped windows will still be restored by the move action even after

having been resized. This was suggested by *KoleckOLP*. MDI also work.

+ New important feature: The **Resize other snapped windows with Shift**

option was added in the General tab of the config. If it is checked, then

any window snapped or touching to sides of the currently resized window

will be resized to remain stuck to the current window when you press the

Shift key. If you want to always resize the touching windows, then you

can manually set StickyResizing=2 in the [General] tab in AltDrag.ini.

In this case, pressing shift will prevent the "sticky resizing".

MDI windows are also supported.

+ New setting to enable/disable AltDrag based on **Scroll Lock** state.

see in the Keyboard Tab.

+ Now an action can be selected for both scroll wheels independently.

+ New action for scroll wheel: Horizontal scroll.

+ New now the '*' joker can be used at the end of the class or at the

beginning of the title, in the form: `*end of title|class start*`

Example: `*|Winamp*`. This may be useful to make better rules.

Note that the processes blacklists are not concerned by this.

+ New: If the first element of a blacklist is *|*, then all windows that

are not listed will be considered as part of the blacklist. This turns

the blacklist into a whitelist ie: list of windows for which AltDrag

will be enabled. It can be useful if you only want to use AltDrag on

very few programs, then you just enable it on those programs.

Both title|class and processes.exe styles are supported.

Exemple: `Processes=*|*, explorer.exe, notepad.exe` will enable AltDrag

only on the explorer and the notepad windows.

+ New setting: UseCursor=4 in the [Advanced] section of AltDrag.ini,

in order to use the ResizeAll cursor for movement instead of the Hand.

+ New: Now more info are displayed in the Identify window section in the

options to help debugging.

+ New: Now the key used to transform scroll in Horizontal scroll can be

chosen using the `HScrollKey` option in the `[Input]` section of

AltDrag.ini. Default is 10, you can set an empty value to remove the

ability of scrolling modification. Note that It only applies when the

**Scroll inactive windows** option is checked.

* Fixed: When snapping to the top of the monitor in maximize mode, dragging

the window to a corner would make a maximize-resized window instead of a

snapped window.

* Fixed: now the snapping region when using Mimic Aero snap option will no

longer extend beyond aero-threshold distance in the corners.

* Fixed: the **Lower windows with middle clicking on title bars** as well

as the **Roll/Unroll windows with Alt+Scroll on title bars** now work

better and lets user closes the tabs on Sumatra PDF with middle click.

The options also apply properly to MDI windows now.

* Fixed: now the center action will no longer apply to Maximized windows.

* Fixed Process blacklist not working on Windows 8.1

* Fixed: the cursor at the End of a movement would force the repaint of

a 256x256 pixels around it. This is no longer the case.

* Fixed: Hotkeys list would not be read properly sometime.

* Fixed: Now windows focusing will work properly inside MDI windows.

Also advanced mouse actions now work properly inside MDI.

* Fixed: now the MMBLower blacklist will only apply to the middle-click in

the title bar and the normal restore option.

* Maximized-rolled window will now be restored to the pre-maximized state.

Rolled-maximized-rolled-unrolled windows, will be restored to the first

rolled state with the memory of the rolled state, as expected.

* Now the config dialog box no longer instantly applies the settings.

This simplifies the code and is more desirable in my opinion. You now

need to click OK or Apply in order to apply the settings. This also

avoids useless confusion when compared to a normal property sheet.
