Split Screen - 3 Windows Vertically (Side by Side) - Win 10

shaned on 22/02/2021 - 09:30

Windows 10 is great for splitting 2 windows vertically left and right with Win + Left and Win + Right.

However, it has its limitiations as it doesnt have a keyboard short cut key to do 3 windows vertically and requires the use of the mouse.

I have read that 3rd party software allows for this and was after recommendations.

What do people recommended on their own experience to quickly arrange 3 windows vertically ?

I use Microsoft's own PowerToys program to create my own split screens.

  Yep, Fancy Zones in PowerToys to be more specific.

    Lifesaver with a higher res display, makes an 1440p ultrawide much more productive when you can snap programs to zones quickly

      I cant believe how good fancy zone is.
      
      I started using it based on these comments.
      
      Is there a keyboard shortcut to auto arrange on the pre-selected zone layout ?
      
      Or is shift drag for all 3 ?

        Doesn't look like a preset shortcut is available. However, you can invert the Shift modifier so holding it will disable FancyZone snapping.
        
        You can also utilise the Win + <- -> key combos if you wish in the settings

Depending on what brand monitor you have, they sometimes have software that you can setup zones on. My LG monitor has it. Dell I think too.
