Save named window-layout presets keyed by monitor count, restore them with a dedicated keyboard shortcut per preset. - New Presets tab in the Settings window shows a live monitor diagram, per-preset shortcut picker (MASShortcutView), and a table of captured app/window rows. - Create a preset via the + button to snapshot every visible window of every running regular app; Add App opens a searchable popover that lists every installed app and captures a single window at a time. - Capture uses CG on-screen list as ground truth (layer 0, alpha > 0, 100x100 minimum) cross-referenced with AX standard windows. - Restore moves windows proportionally using a relative frame stored as 0-1 fractions of the capture-time display, so windows scale to the current display size. Apps that are installed but not running are launched first. Uninstalled apps are pruned automatically. - Primary display is sourced from the system configuration (screen at origin 0,0), not NSScreen.main, so captures are not affected by the currently-focused window. - Presets persist to UserDefaults under "screenPresets" and are kept out of the main Config export/import.

Thanks for contributing! My preference at the moment is to have this new settings tab hidden by default, and shown either by setting a default via Terminal command or via a checkbox in the popover in the ellipsis button at the bottom of the General tab. One of my main goals with Rectangle has always been to keep it really simple and approachable out of the box, although I view it as a community-oriented project so I want to keep it flexible with nearly anything people want to add in. I'll dive into testing and reviewing the code soon. |
