  • how to evenly distribute open finder windows on my screen?

    Posted by Tom Adams on November 18, 2009 at 3:05 pm

    hello,

    I’m hoping someone has a mac tip that will allow me to evenly distribute all of the finder windows that happen to be open on my screen. I seem to remember a key-combo that magically made this possible? anyone?

    thanks

    Regards,

    Exposé.
    F9 key, or if using F9 key with FCP, remap to (Option or Shift or CMD)F9.
    Set up in System Prefs.

    thanks chuck. but i should have clarified that I mean more permanently evenly distribute windows. expose is cool and all but I’d like to have the windows stay like that – not just temporarily pop-up like expose.

    Check MacUpdate.com or VersionTracker.com and search “window layout.”
    There are a few that show up that look like they may be what you want.
