Many of you have already seen the new window management features in Windows 7, such as Aero Peek and the ability to snap windows to the top/bottom/left/right to maximize, minimize, and dock. However, you probably don’t know that Windows 7 provides keyboard shortcuts to improve window management further.

1. Windows key + Up arrow = maximize working window
2. Windows key + Down arrow = minimize working window (or restore a maximized window)
3. Windows key + Left arrow = dock working window to the left
4. Windows key + Right arrow = dock working window to the right
5. Windows key + Space = Peek at the desktop

For folks with multiple monitors, you can move windows between those monitors by using the Shift key:

1. Windows key + Shift + Left arrow = move the working window one monitor to the left
2. Windows key + Shift + Right arrow = move the working window one monitor to the right
