  • Amethyst supports a wide number of layouts: Tall, Wide, 3Column-Middle, Column, Full Screen with the help of shortcuts.
  • Each layout lets you modify the window size (Option + Shift + L), cycle through the windows (Option + Shift + J), change window position, and more.
  • With so many shortcuts, you can set up custom modifier keys to help you ease the learning curve.
  • You can enable or disable layouts to control whether they appear in the cycle sequence.
