Window Management

Snap Wheel

The Snap Wheel is a radial popup menu for quick window actions. Trigger it on any window to snap, send to a stage, or toggle auto-tiling — all without memorizing keyboard shortcuts.

Trigger Options

Configure triggers in Settings > Snap Wheel. You can add multiple triggers — they all work simultaneously. Choose from presets or record a custom combo.

Middle-Click Toggle (Default)

Middle-click anywhere to open the wheel, then move freely and left-click to select. Middle-click again to dismiss and re-show at a new position.

Ctrl+Opt Hold

Hold Ctrl+Opt to summon the wheel at your cursor after a configurable delay (default 150 ms). Release to apply, or left-click to commit.

Middle-Click Hold

Click and hold the middle mouse button on a window. Drag to select, release to apply.

Custom Trigger

Define your own trigger in Settings — any modifier+key combo, modifier+mouse button, or modifier-only shortcut. Each trigger can be set to hold or toggle mode independently.

Wheel Layout

The wheel has two layers: an inner ring for snap zones, and an outer action fan with expandable submenu pills. Hover over a fan slice to reveal its submenu.

Inner Ring

Halves & Quarters

Snap the window to left, right, top, or bottom halves — or any of the four quarter positions.

Full

Outer Fan

Maximize the window to fill the entire screen.

Thirds

Outer Fan — Submenu

Hover to expand: left third, center third, right third, left two-thirds, and right two-thirds.

Send to Stage

Outer Fan — Submenu

Hover to expand: each stage (1–9) plus a "+" to create a new stage.

Pin

Outer Fan

Toggle pin on the target window. Pinned windows hold their position and size during retile, maximize, and stage switches. Only available when Bento Box is active.

Retile

Outer Fan

Retile all windows on the current stage. Same as Opt+Down.

Extras

Outer Fan — Submenu

Hover to expand: Bento (toggle auto-tiling), Ignore (exclude app from tiling), AI Stage (run AI Staging), and Settings.

Switch Stage

Outer Fan — Submenu

Hover to expand: switch to another stage without moving the window.

Extras Submenu

The Extras slice in the outer fan expands into four actions:

  • Bento — Toggle Bento Box auto-tiling for the current stage (same as Opt+B).
  • Ignore — Exclude the target app from Bento Box tiling. The app floats freely above the grid.
  • AI Stage — Run AI Staging to automatically group windows into stages.
  • Settings — Open Snap Wheel settings directly.

How to Use

  1. 1Trigger the wheel using any of your configured triggers on the target window.
  2. 2Move your cursor toward the desired zone. The active segment highlights as you hover.
  3. 3Release (hold mode) or left-click (toggle mode) to apply the action.
