    Window Snapping - Portrait Monitors


    I understand this question has been asked years ago. I'm looking to just continue bugging Microsoft to implement such a simple feature. When operating with a secondary monitor in portrait mode, why is there no keyboard shortcut to snap to the top/bottom halves of the portrait monitor?

    :)

    Snap Assist to top and bottom in portrait mode

    I work in Portrait on my desktop and have found an almost-but-not-quite solution building on Eeshwar's suggestion.

    1) Snap a window to one of the corners. For this purpose we'll say you have your notes app and Snap it to bottom-left or bottom-right.

    2) Size the snapped window horizontally to fill the screen

    3) Snap "top" window to either top corner - the window will match the size of your previously-snapped bottom window and fill the rest of the screen.

    This solution has drawbacks:

    1) Extra step - you must resize the initial window after snapping

    2) No official keyboard shortcuts

    portrait mode window snaps

    I there a way to make window snap so that they are split horizontally when using portrait mode?

    I use sp3 in portrait mode all the time and having the windows snap vertically as usual is just ridiculous.

    If not, it would be really helpful if there is a way to make them snap top and bottom by dragging the windows top and bottom respectively

    Window Snapping - Portrait Monitors

    snap window with multiple monitors in portrait display mode

    How can we use snap features in Windows 10 if our multiple monitors are in portrait display mode? One idea was:

    "You can assign new hotkeys (like Ctrl + Alt + Up/Down) on the Settings > Functions tab. The functions you're looking for are called "Size and Move Window to Top/Bottom Side"

    I cannot find "Settings > Functions" or a "hotkeys editor" to do this.
