Today I learned about a tool to help with workflows on your mac. The Better Touch Tool allows the user to create custom workflows, keyboard shortcuts and snap areas.
The custom keyboard shortcuts can be set to individual apps or to be enabled in certain circumstances. In addition to special keyboard shortcuts, the app also allows you to customize actions based on gestures input through the trackpad.
A feature I have started using is setting up custom snap areas. The basic level of this feature adds in the functionality found default in modern Windows environments. When dragging an app to the edge or top of the screen it will snap to take up half or a corner of your screen. The advanced functionality of this features allows you to set multiple drag zones that will allow you to size a window down to the specific pixel dimensions that work for you, then create a keyboard shortcut or drag zone to replicate these dimensions.
Finally, if you have a favorite mouse whose auxiliary buttons and features do not work natively with your mac, you can map the desired functions with this app.
