Penc Changelog

What's new in Penc 1.0.0

Jul 9, 2021
  • New Activation UX & UI:
  • When Penc is activated, it displays a fullscreen overlay that indicates all of the windows visible on your current screen. Now you can move & resize multiple windows in a single activation just by moving your cursor on the window you want.
  • Action Customization:
  • You can now customize resize dimensions of actions according to your screen. It supports multiple screens too. If you have a second widescreen monitor, you can set to resize a window's width as 1/3 of your screen when swiped left, just for that screen.
  • Simultaneously Resize Adjacent Windows:
  • When you resize a window from its edges & corners, Penc now resizes all the snapped and adjacent windows.
  • Right-Click to Minimize & Double-Click to Fullscreen:
  • 2 new actions added to Penc:
  • Tap with two fingers (right-click) to minimize a window
  • Double-tap (double-click) to make a window fullscreen
  • Keyboard & Mouse Support:
  • When Penc is activated and a window is selected, with your keyboard:
  • Press arrow keys to snap the window into halves/quarters
  • Press enter key to toggle fullscreen
  • With your mouse:
  • Drag the window from its body and throw it to the direction you want to snap
  • Mouse wheel to resize the window
  • Double-click to toggle fullscreen
  • Right-click to minimize
  • Other improvements and fixes:
  • When resizing or moving a window, it automatically aligns to other windows
  • Improved double keypress logic to prevent undesired activations
  • Improved swipe detection
  • Added an option to show window size
  • After activation completed, do not bring all the windows of the focused app to the front (thanks to @ahti)
