   One thing I miss from #Windows on #Mac is the ability to press a mouse chord which automatically centers the front-most window. By which I mean, hold down the left mousebutton and then press and release the right one. Can Rectangle, or Raycast Window Manager do this?

     @dhry @ellane Think Better Touch Tool would be the most likely way. I think Raycast and Rectangle only use key strokes? I had better touch tool but it must have been just a trial.

     @ellane Or possibly BetterTouchTool.

     @dhry Rectangle can, I believe.

     @ellane @dhry Dang, same here. And I only used it briefly and switched to Raycast

     @dhry I’m not expert enough to know if that’s possible. I only use Rectangle for simple window management and haven’t actually saved a work space with that app. @jeremydebose

     @ellane @jeremydebose Correct.

     Since you’re a Rectangle expert, riddle me this. I set up several windows in several screen positions and then save layout. And let’s say I call it “Dhry’s Layout”. Easy enough. But how do I UPDATE that same layout if I add some more windows, or relocate existing windows elsewhere on the screen? It seems all I can do is save layout to a new one, then delete the old one.

     Possible?

     @jeremydebose @dhry Oh sorry, were you wanting the mouse to do the resizing and centering? Yes, BTT is the one for that. I prefer key strokes, so Rectangle is perfect.
