One of my favorite utilities is WinSplit Revolution, which is especially handy for large displays. Its largest feature is the ability to press Ctrl+Alt+[Numpad number] to quickly move the active window to the desired side/corner of a window. Sadly, Ctrl+Alt+[fn][numpad] on my laptop doesn’t generate a keystroke. So, AutoHotKey to save the day.

It made sense to map the row of keys on the right side of my laptop (from top to bottom: home, page up, page down, end) as I probably wouldn’t be overriding another important keystroke, and they are sort of near where the number pad would be. While WinSplit lets you manually assign keystrokes, I wouldn’t have been able to use the Windows key, and if I connected a USB keyboard with a real number pad (something I sometimes do) I wanted all of the program’s normal functionality available.

The AHK script is as follows:

;WinSplit Revolution Laptop Compatibility
#Delete::Send ^!{Numpad5}
#PgUp::Send ^!{Numpad8}
#PgDn::Send ^!{Numpad2}
#Home::Send ^!{Numpad4}
#End::Send ^!{Numpad6}

In plain english:

Win+Delete -> Center (fill/third/two thirds)
Win+Home -> Left half (half/third/two thirds)
Win+Pg up -> Top half
Win+Pg dn -> Bottom half
Win+End -> Right half

While I’d initially decided that Ctrl+Win+(relevant key) would be a good replacement, I decided that I could drop the Ctrl to simplify the keystroke. There are probably many other intuitive (or more functional) methods I could have tried, such as attempting to replicate all
