原文：FreeSnap: maximize window edges individually

作者：Samer

Description: FreesSnap is a free program that runs in the background and allows the user to individually maximize any of the four sides of an open window using hotkeys (Win+arrows by default). It also allows you to use hotkeys to quickly shift the placement of a window to the center or any of the 4 corners, and to perform a number of windows resize operations.

描述：FreeSnap是一个免费软件，它在后台运行，能帮助用户用快捷键最大化一个窗口的某一边（默认键是Win+方向键）。它同时还能让你通过快捷键快速的把窗口移到屏幕中央或者四个角落，也能执行一系列窗口调整大小的操作。

You might have been in a situation where you were happy with the placements of windows on your screen, but would have liked to just maximize a window vertically, for example, in order to read the text at the bottom without having to scroll down. By default your only option if you were to do this would be to use the mouse to extend your window down manually (requiring some fine mouse-work if you were to get it exactly to the edge). Freesnap, on the other hand, would make this possible through a simple hotkey. Here are more notes on this program:

你可能会遇到这种情况，当你觉得程序窗口的位置很合适，但却想只让窗口垂直最大化（即窗口“顶天立地”但宽度不变）。例如，当你想阅读长篇文字又不想滚动屏幕的时候，你可能就会这么做。默认情况下你只能通过鼠标，手工的调整窗口大小。但是有了FreeSnap，以上操作只需要按下快捷键即可。下面是该软件更详细的说明：

• Hotkeys: what I like about Freesnap is that it provides two sets of alternative hotkeys for desktops (using the number pad buttons) and laptops (using the arrow keys or I/J/K/L).
• 快捷键：我喜欢Freesnap的就是它提供了两套快捷键设定，分别适用于台式机（使用数字小键盘）和笔记本（使用方向键或I/J/K/L）
• Resizing: you can resize up/resize down to 5 pre-set sizes: 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1152×864, 1280×1024. These can be useful if you are interested to see what your site or program will look like under the most common screen sizes. If resizing is your main need, check out Sizer, a similar program which allows you to define custom sizes.
• 调整大小：你能调大/调小到5个预定义的尺寸：640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1152×864, 1280×1024。当你有兴趣想看看你的网站或者程序在这些常见分辨率下的样子时，这一功能就派上用场了。如果你常用这一功能，可以试试Sizer，它是个类似的程序，但你呢个让你自定义尺寸。
• Window placement: you can quickly send the window to any corner of the screen or the center.
• 窗口位置：你能快速的把窗口移动到任何屏幕的任何一角或中央。
• Memory usage: approx. 4 megs, which is about 1 meg less than a similar program, reSizer (not to be confused with the above mentioned Sizer).
• 内存使用：大约4M，比reSizer（跟前面的Sizer不是同一款软件）少1M左右

The verdict: my main interest and the reason this program captured my attention in the first place is the horizontal window maximization function. As far as other freeware which have similar functions to this, I like FreeSnap compared to reSizer because it supports laptop compatible hotkeys that allow me to use it on my laptop (in the absence of a keypad). Also, reSizer has too many functions compared to FreeSnap, and although I would have liked to have some of them (e.g. send to another screen in multimonitor situations), this is one situation where the adage "less is more" holds true and I prefer FreeSnap. A nice program overall.

意见：我对这款软件的主要兴趣是它的水平最大化窗口功能。也有其他的免费软件提供类似的功能，但比起reSizer我更喜欢FreeSnap，因为它提供了支持笔记本的快捷键让我能把它用在我的笔记本上（在没有小键盘的情况下）。虽然，reSizer比FreeSnap拥有更多功能，而且我已经习惯了其中某些功能（比如在多显示器时把窗口移动到另一个屏幕），但是，就像古语所说“少就是多”，我更喜欢FreeSnap。总的来说，这是款好软件。
