Hover Tile Menu
Overview
The Hover Tile Menu provides mouse-driven window tiling without opening the Organizer. Hover over any window's yellow (minimize) traffic light button and a layout picker appears after a short delay.
How to Use
- Enable the feature in Settings > General > Hover Tile Menu.
- Hover over the yellow traffic light button on any window.
- Wait 400ms — the tile layout picker appears.
- Click a layout to snap the window to that zone on its current screen.
Dismiss Behavior
The menu dismisses when:
- Your mouse leaves both the menu and the button zone for 300ms (with a 40px margin to prevent accidental dismissal).
- You click outside the menu.
- You click a tile layout (after applying it).
Targeting
The target screen is determined by the window's center point, not the mouse cursor. This means the window tiles on the screen where it currently lives.
Button Position Caching
WinPin caches the traffic light button position for the focused window using the Accessibility API. The cache refreshes on:
- App focus change
- Window move or resize
- Intra-app window switch (detected via AXObserver)
