WindowKeys 3.0▲125Hello, I’ve just released version 3.0 of WindowKeys, a small utility for macOS that gives you full control over the native window tiling system introduced in macOS Sequoia.

Over time it evolved beyond just shortcuts, and now 3.0 adds a few frequently requested features: - Move windows between displays (or iPad) - Repeat last tiling action for each app - Redesigned Shortcut…
