This page should provide some idea of where this project is heading.
Details

- Add support for multiple monitor
- Fix any bugs
v3.0
- Add support to change shortcut keys
I love it, it works perfect and it is simple.. btw if you can make it possible to change hotkeys it would be great.. thanks for the app
Hi. Could be possible to hide/disable any menubar icon/text? It would be nice! Thanks a lot!
The software is great! very useful, clean, simple! works great. Thanks.
Love it! Fantastic. My request - if it would respect windows with drawers (like Textmate). Currently they end up off the side of the screen.
Anyway, great work!
multiple monitor is a must. However, what you have right now is a God sent app that will increase my productivity
Loving it. Thanks for hte work.
v2.0 REQUEST: Like SizeUp?... it would be nice to pad the edges of the windows. Allows for a clean layout. On that note, accounting for the doc position is a must.
Looks like something we want! Any chance of a PowerPC binary? My G4 isn't dead yet... :)
Really nice. Maybe it's more usefull to put it in the systemprefrences. In my opinion there is no need to place it in the menubar.
Hello Shift It Team! It's a really nice software! Thanks to you. My request: Bring application-window's in other spaces with shortcut. - The same function seen on GNU/Linux with gnome.
This is cool! The comment about it being a System Pref sounds nice. No need to display anything.
Another sort of related keyboard / monitor issue. There used to be a utility waaaay back called Stepping Out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop#Mac_OS). It would be very cool if you could not only zoom in to enlarge but also zoom out to a virtually larger desktop (or combine several spaces to allow one app to span them).
Feature request or too wild?
Hi All, Thanks for all your support. Shift It Team is listening to you! It has added support for multiple monitors and usage of Sparkle Framework to allow automatic updates to take place.
Due to the overwhelming response, we have released these two features in v1.1( they were expected to be released in v2.0).
Hope you enjoy using the application.
Thanks for you support,
Shift It Team.
Hi there,
Fantastic app! I use this feature a lot when Im working on a Windows 7 machine, and love that I can have the functionality in the preferred OSX now too... One request - something that Windows 7 does, is when you "dock" the window to the side of a screen by using a keyboard shortcut such as Option Command and Right (the equivalent shortcut in Windows - whatever it is), when you hit Option Command and Left, it returns the window to where it previously was before you docked it... Then hitting Option Command and Left again, docks it to the left side of the screen... Any chance this can be implemented? This would be perfect then!
Thanks
Option to save a window's current size and position would be great. Through this, you could allow users to have multiple shortcuts for custom window position/size. For example, CMD+OPT+(1-9).
For multi-monitor setups, should allow user to use an extra modifier key to specify which monitor.
This looks like a great app can't wait to try it out. My request - option to hidden the menu icon - let it move windows between different workspace.
Great tool. Would love it if the tool didn't place windows under the Dock.
The icon is being made as we speak. It should be out in the next version of the app.
So far I used Cinch for shift-to-left/right maximize feature.. I'd love to see besides the keyboard feature some mouse stuff :) So keep up the good work guys!
Love this program. Suggestion: Replace the menubar text "Shift" with a smaller icon. Menubar space is very limited/important and "Shift" takes up a lot of room.
Personally, I downloaded the source code and changed it to simply "SI".
3 column?
It would be nice to see an auto-tile multiple windows option.
This is great! Exactly what I was looking for. I hope development goes well. I can see a bright future for this app. It took me forever to find though. Bout time we have a decent open source window manager for OS X. I'm willing to help in any way with development too.
Hey. I just learned about shiftit. You should add it on macupdate and/or iusethis (OSX) really. Anyways, here is my wishlist. 1. Return window to previous position, like what adgrimes described above. 2. Option to save and use custom window positions, like am.artform described above. 3. Move (with increments os say maybe 10 pixels) and grow windows in any direction (rather the built in OSX lower right corner resizing). 4. Window margins (or spacing if you will). By separating windows (just a few pixels) from each other (and optionally the screen border) you gain a much better overview of individual windows, and thus reduce clutter in your workspace.
I also vote for being able to resize windows in any direction. Perhaps using the keyboard shortcut of SHIFT+ALT+CMD+{ANY ARROW KEY} to resize it 10 pixels.
This might be difficult to predict though, since if the window is half screen size on the left, resizing with the right arrow key would mean grow to the right. But if the window were half size on the right, resizing with the right arrow key would probably mean shrink the left edge.
Thanks for all the effort, it's great!
Really disappointing this is no longer in development.
Thus is an awesome app, and its amazing that it is available for free. It really restores my faith in mac coders!
One thing I would suggest is to add multiple monitor support. At present, the behaviour can be slightly odd on a second screen, especially if it is slightly offset from the first..
Great work though. Keep it up!
It would be great if you could have a preset window size based on a shortcut. For example use a key board shortcut to resize the current window to 1024x768.
I wish there was a way to minimize the window as well. Apart from that, this is a near flawless little app.
Thank you for this app! Today (July 4th) a different window shifting app is free to download, so I gave it a try. One feature that I immediately miss in ShiftIt? is a 'restore' hotkey. Would that be possible in a future version? Thank you
Thanks for your works. It's really nice! How about plans for dealing with mouse gesture? in Windows 7, drag and drop in each corners of display is more convenient for me :)
Love the app, was very easy to get in the source code and customize the keys and add a switch to left/right monitor shortcut.
Great work.
Thanks!
It appears that maybe you guys aren't aware, but Filip Krikava and I picked up where this dev left off and developed it further on Github. Link here:

Filip took the lead a while back and I stepped away but recently it has quieted down a lot so I might try and pick it back up.

This app is a must for every technical users on mac!
Can I suggest enabling users to configure the percentage of split (both horizontally and vertically)? Even if it is a hidden tuning knob in a config file will suffice. 50%-50% split is not always optimal. Thanks.
Great tool! I use it everyday now, can't live without it~! Can you provide a shortcut key to move window from one monitor to another ? That would be cool. Thanks~! Keep going~!
Awsome app! It would be really useful if you could switch focus to different windows with this. For example command+control+left takes you to the window on the left.
Can you add restore windows size feature for the next version? Great app! Thanks
Can we have shift window to other spaces shortcut?
