Many Tricks<\/a> (release notes<\/a>, tweet<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\n

Moom 4 has a completely revamped user interface designed to help you get the most out of Moom. Gone is the multi-tabbed non-resizable window, replaced with this new resizable window.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The pop-up palette is both customizable and expandable, supporting up to 61 of your own custom actions.<\/p>\n

You can use folders (and folders within folders) to organize your actions.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Every custom action can be renamed, not just saved layouts.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Any saved layout can be added to a screen edge in Moom’s snap feature. Once you’ve done that, drag a window onto that region, and the associated saved layout’s window locations become drop zone targets[…]<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

That Hover entry in the sidebar? It’s an entirely new way of working with windows. By defining some modifier key combos, you can move and\/or resize any window—even one in the background—by simply holding down the defined modifier key combos and moving your mouse.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Chains—combinations of multiple actions—now have two operating modes. As before, they can run as one command (e.g., resize this window and move it to the other display), or they can run sequentially, executing each action in the chain each time the keyboard shortcut is used (e.g., move from one-third left to center third to right third).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This looks really great. With the launch sale, new licenses are $10 (vs. $15) and upgrades are $6. Apple never did add an entitlement for accessibility access, so with the major version upgrade Moom is no longer grandfathered and has to leave the Mac App Store.<\/p>\n\n
