I use Moom at home but can't at work, so I just started using https://rectangleapp.com instead.

You're looking for a "tiling window manager".

Another tip: In my setup I created dummy screens to fake multiple monitors in RDP.

Microsoft PowerToys is pretty great for windows

Specifically, the FancyZones utility. I was just showing this to a guest I was hosting and blowing their minds. You can setup multiple patterns per monitor depending on a given workflow, snap windows with shortcuts or shift-dragging with the mouse, and even tab between windows in the same 'pane'.

Fancy Zones are also in base Windows 11.

If you use a Mac, I’ve really enjoyed using Divvy. You can define snap zones with keyboard shortcuts. It’s $20, but that’s worth it for me considering how much I use it.

As a free alternative (which I use daily) I would recommend "Hammerspoon" https://www.hammerspoon.org/

You will need to do a little configuration, but it does the snap zones thing perfectly.

Just coming across these. I've been using amethyst. Would this offer any benefit to me ?

Hammerspoon has the benefit that in addition to managing your windows / spaces, you can also script tons of other things in the macos interface with it: have a glance at https://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/ to see the top-level modules.

been playing with this all day. This thing is amazing. Thank you for recommending this.

My memory is hazy but I feel this is close to some now-elided window management feature in MacOS...

Thanks for the tip!

For Mac: RectangleApp

Honestly the latest Windows 10 isn’t bad in this regard and Windows 11 has improved on that without making it a chore (although the other regressions in 11 make it a strong Do Not Recommend for now). The PowerToys expansion for this feature is worth trying (it’s by Microsoft and it’s free).

If you have a Dell monitor you can use Dell Display Manager.

On a Mac, I use Magnet, which lets you snap windows all over the place, even on multiple monitors.

I do this with KDE.
