Optimal Layout window manager for Mac OS X

Optical layout is a ultimate window manager for Mac OS X that allows you to use the keyboard (or keyboard shortcuts to be precise) to control the various working windows of your computer.

The Computer mouse has been our friend for a long time for performing various actions on the computer screen like changing the current working window, resizing , opening a new window – all these and more with mouse clicks.

With new technology advancing, as notebooks replace the desktops, the trackpad are being the new and convenient technology but when you have to work with speed, it isn’t that easy.

Resizing separate windows evenly is an example of how tricky things can get with the trackpad. Even approximation of distances with the trackpad becomes tough for certain users.

So comes the newer and more convenient way of handling through different windows – Optical Layout, a Ultimate window manager for Mac OS that lets us control the different working windows using various keyboard shortcuts.

It might seem to be a bit tough in the beginning to memorize the shortcuts, but as you start using it, you will quickly understand the logic of the shortcuts and work becomes easier on your notebook.

So, after using the software for some time, the user will get quite accustomed to it and memorizing the commands would also be easy.
