This is a .slate.js file for the Slate Window Management System.
Slate is a window management application similar to Divvy and SizeUp (except better and free!). Originally written to replace them due to some limitations in how each work, it attempts to overcome them by simply being extremely configurable. As a result, it may be a bit daunting to get configured, but once it is done, the benefit is huge.
The layout is based on a windows only application "WinSplit Revolution". For a quick overview watch this youtube video.
I switch from a desktop full keyboard to a laptop so this includes two sets of keyboard bindings. One designed for a full keyboard with number pad and one designed for a compact keyboard without number pad.
Shortcut will cycle through three sizes except for the top/bottom which will cycle through two sizes. All numbers on full keyboard shortcuts refer to number pad.
