Mike Fiore (ID: 000000284d6f1374) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 This was great until, clicking the extension, the menu pop-up stopped being wide enough to see all the windows you've saved. On inspection of the css for the pop-up, the min-width is set too low (200px, it needs to be at least 320px). This happens on multiple machines so it's not a local setting I don't think.

Ross Silverstein (ID: 000000073277ab02) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 Feature request: would be great to be able to drag/drop the layouts to re-order them in the settings window.

Jon Weinrib (ID: 00000041d82b22cc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/10/2022 It's nice, and the functionality is (mostly) what I was looking for. There are still a few bugs, or features lacking. 1) There is a bug when you try to add a shortcut to a custom layout - it only gives you a few options for shortcuts (it should let you choose anything), and only let's you choose an already-used one. And if you remove the shortcut for the one already using it, it STILL doesn't work, just reassigns the shortcut to one of the other presets. In short, that part is really annoying.

James Hartley (ID: 0000004adda4653d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2020 Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for - especially on my chromebook where there aren't desktop apps (e.g. spectacle on mac) that can do this! Super helpful when multi-tasking (always) and wanting to have a different window on each half your monitor. Thank you! Feature request: keyboard shortcut for move window to other monitor
