MultiWindow + Floating & Resizable Windows

Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2 vertically (while in landscape) or horizontally, you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running.

Floating & Resizable window mode allows you to freely position the window and resize as many of them as you like.

(memory will be the limit though)

MultiWindow

NavBar:

- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the NavBar Button

(It will lay apps alternatively in one SplitView spot then the other.)

- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the NavBar Button

Recents:

- Clicking on the app Thumbnail works as before and displays the app fullscreen

- Clicking on the app icon or the icon will switch the app to splitview and lay it in "automode"

(If you use automode when an application was set in a SplitView slot it'll be recalled to that previous spot.)

- Clicking on the other icons will force the app to the 1st or 2nd SplitView slot.

Actions

Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview, switch between the 2 most recent apps and to force the splitview slot have been added

so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press action too.

Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might not refresh correctly sometime.

Same when rotating the screen while in splitview mode.

To force a refresh simply tap the app or if you have 2 apps in split, just click twice on the switch to last app button:

Floating & Resizable Window

.

One Difference with the MultiWindow mode is that an app has to be relaunched to switch between Floating and non floating mode

(you can however maximize the app through the button to get it full screen and click on the minimize button to get it back to floating mode)

Also note that all apps might not behave correctly while put in floating mode, it kinda depends on the app.

To relaunch the Top Running application between floating and non floating mode, click on the new NavBar Button:

Long pressing on the button will show/hide all apps currently running into floating mode. (makes it easy to bring them back and forth as needed)

Global Actions have also been added so you can bind these 2 actions on other long pressing or Dock/Keyboard Key override in Settings

With these icons you can maximize the floating app to full screen , minimize it back to floating mode, and close it.

Using the menu button in the top left corner of the app, you can dock the app half size to the top,bottom,left,right side.

To move the app drag the top bar around, it will auto dock to the sides when you drop it close to them.

To resize an app freely, use 2 fingers pinch (like when you are zooming / unzooming) If the app is docked to the side, you need to undock it first by moving it away from the side.

To switch between apps you can also go through the recents screen, use alt right+tab, or the switch to previous app button.

Clicking on the app icon in the launcher will bring it foreground too. (same if you associated a run application shortcut to the keyboard for example)
