Ok, here's the idea... it's a cross between regions and the hotkey to bring-to-front idea I asked for....

I'm seeing LOTS of boxers playing 1x4 configs or 1x2 configs, etc...

1x4 being one on the main screen and 4 on the second in quarters.
1x2 being one on the main screen and 2 on the second in halves.

So this works great, and if you have huge monitors its even relatively decent... but for those of us on a budget things can be a bit small... 640x512 for example is a smidge on the small side.

So what would be nice is a command bindable hotkey that would bring that instance to a larger region...

So for example I define 6 regions as follows:

  • Region 1 - Display 0 - 0,0,1280,1024 (Full screen, main monitor)
  • Region 2-5 - Display 1 - 0,0,640,512 (etc to create 2x2 matrix)
  • Region 6 - Display 1 - 0,0,1280,1024 (Full screen, 2nd monitor)


Bind F1-F4 to the 4 regions on the 2nd monitor and when you press one it "zooms" that instance to region 6 so it's nice and beefy and you can see it all nice and big... hit the key again and it snaps back to the small region... hit another key and it snaps that one forward (and any other full screen back to the small region).

Ok, now let me state that this is NOT trivial by any means.... if you wanted to get really slick you could animate the movement the same way Windows Vista does when you WindowsTab instead of Alt Tab .
