How to install EasyMon!
Installing EasyMon is easy! Just download the installer (EasyMonSetup.exe) and execute it by doubleclicking on the file.
When the installer is finished, it will ask you if you want to launch EasyMon.
Leave the checkbox checked and press Finish.
The First-run wizard.
When you first run EasyMon, you will see a wizard that will guide you through the setup of EasyMon.
By default you can click Start on the first page of the wizard, followed by next on the following pages.
At the last page you click Finish.
If you want to make changes to the default settings of EasyMon you can do this in the following pages of the wizard:
- Automatic Startup: EasyMon is intended to run in the background and should be started when Windows starts.
It is recommended to choose "Yes". To avoid EasyMon to startup automatically, choose "No".
You still can change this setting later on. - Automatic Updates: EasyMon can periodically contact the Codessentials server to see if a newer version is available.
It is recommended to choose "Yes". If so, you will be notified and invited to install the new version.
This service will not send any data to Codessentials except for the version number of your current installation. - Done!: this is the last page of the wizard.
It tells you that you can use EasyMon by pressing the Windows key together with the arrow keys.
See "How to use EasyMon" for more information on how you can move your application windows.
This page also invites you to learn how to use EasyMon. If the checkbox is checked you will be directed to this page.
After installing EasyMon and running through the wizard, EasyMon is ready for use.
By default the hotkey for moving application windows is set to the Windows key combined with the Arrow keys.
From now on we will use [Win] to refere to the Windows key and [ > ], [ < ], [ ^ ] and [ v ] as Arrow keys.
Default hotkey functionality:
| [Win] + [ > ] | Moves the topmost application window to the right side monitor (if any present). |
| [Win] + [ < ] | Moves the topmost application window to the left side monitor (if any present). |
| [Win] + [ ^ ] | Maximizes the topmost application window. |
| [Win] + [ v ] | If the topmost application window is maximized then it will return to the normal state, If the topmost application window is in the normal state then it will be minimized. |
If you want to change the hotkey combination, see to the section "Changing the hotkey".
