• Run grout.exe or cargo run. Program will run in the background and options can be accessed by right clicking the system tray icon.
• Activate the windowing grid with hotkey CRTL + ALT + S.
• Increase / decrease grid rows / columns with CTRL + arrows.
• Hovering cursor over the grid will show a preview of that zone in the window.
• Select a window you want resized, then click on a tile in the grid. Window will resize to that zone.
• Hold SHIFT down while hovering after a selection, zone will increase in size across all tiles. Select again to resize to larger zone.
• Resizing can also be achieved by click-drag-release. Click & hold cursor down, drag cursor across multiple tiles and release to make selection.

# Example config file for Grout

# Margin between windows, in pixels
margins = 10

# Padding between edge of monitor and windows, in pixels
window_padding = 10

# Hotkey to activate grid. Valid modifiers are CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, WIN
hotkey = "CTRL+ALT+S"

# Hotkey to activate grid for a quick resize. Grid will automatically
# close after resize operation.
#hotkey_quick_resize = "CTRL+ALT+Q"

# Hotkey to maximize / restore the active window
#hotkey_maximize_toggle = "CTRL+ALT+X"

# Automatically launch program on startup
auto_start = false

• A configuration file will be created at %APPDATA%\grout\config.toml that can be customized. You can also open the config file from the system tray icon.
