2.0.0

MaxTo 2.0 is ready for prime-time. Here are some of the things that are new:

• Feature Support for recipes that let you set up your own keyboard shortcuts with multiple ingredients.
• Feature Command line support.
• Feature Completely new design.
• Feature Support for virtual desktops.

2.0.0-rc3 Beta

This release candidate contains a large change to how MaxTo uses keyboard shortcuts. We can now override any system hotkey, so we have changed our default hotkeys:

• Move windows using Windows + arrow keys
• Swap windows using Windows + Alt + arrow keys
• Center window on the monitor using Windows + Alt + C
• Maximize to monitor using Windows + Alt + M

Note that these defaults are only applied if you start MaxTo without a configuration already applied. To remove your settings, you can delete the file %AppData%\MaxTo\config.json. You can also change the hotkeys manually to the defaults in the settings.

Other changes in this release:

• Feature New keyboard shortcut editor.
• Feature Allows overriding keyboard shortcuts from Windows.
• Bug Will now delete scheduled task (to start MaxTo on logon) when MaxTo is uninstalled.
• Bug CLI would sometimes use older versions instead of the latest installed version.
• Bug Fix issue with Firefox window becoming very small. See issue #339.
• Bug Fix issue where the move command would hang when trying to move a window to the same virtual desktop you were currently on. See issue #358.
• Bug Fix issue where launching an application would provide wrong arguments to the launched program. See issue #357.
• Bug Fix crash when saving presets. See issue #360.
