How to Use Window Snapping on Mac Window snapping on the Mac will snap windows to any of the following targets: edges of other windows, the menu bar, the top of the Dock (if visible), and the sides of the screen. With several windows open on the Mac display, grab one and drag it against a snap target. PART 3- How To Include Mouse Cursor In a Screenshot On Mac? To learn how to take screenshots on Mac with the mouse cursor included, you can use the little-known built-in utility, Grab. The Mac application offers all the essential features needed to capture the entire screen, active window, a particular part of the screens and timed screenshots.
This is the pointer you see the most. It's used to point to and select items, move scroll bars, resize windows, and more. If you lose track of the pointer on the screen, quickly move your finger on the trackpad or quickly move the mouse—the pointer briefly gets bigger so you can see it. Launch an app in a snap. Ridiculously easy shortcut management for the Mac. Lifehacker's Download of the Day, June 15, 2011. 'I like Snap because it's simple and allows me to quickly open apps using easy to remember shortcuts — always faster than heading over an icon with your mouse cursor.' SteerMouse is an advanced utility for USB and Bluetooth mice. SteerMouse can assign various functions to buttons that Apple's software does not allow, including double-clicks, modifier clicks.
One of the most missed features on Mac is the window snapping where you can just drag a window to the edge of the screen, causing the window to 'snap' into place. Until Apple makes up their mind, we'd have to rely on third-party solutions. Let's see how to snap windows on macOS, just like we do on Windows.
1. Native Solution
macOS does have a native option to snap your windows to either the left or right half of the screen. It is built-in but you would have to manually enable it from the Mission Control Settings. Navigate to Settings> Mission Control> check 'Display have separate spaces'. Once done, simply click the green expand button on the top left corner of any active window to select the snapping location. This method is still less intuitive and you can't use keyboard shortcuts or drag the windows to magnetically snap it to the side.
2. Rectangle
Rectangle is a free and open-source app that allows you to quickly snap your active windows on macOS. Unlike the native solution, Rectangle lets you snap windows by using a keyboard shortcut. It has presets such as snapping to either side, top and bottom halves, corners, thirds, etc. There are more than 20 different positions and sizes that you can implement on a window. The app runs from the Menubar and detects keyboard shortcuts flawlessly.
However, this app doesn't give you the functionality of snapping windows by dragging the window using the cursor to the side.

3. Hookshot

Hookshot is another app by the same dev as Rectangle and it aims to offer more functionality. Apart from all the keyboard shortcuts, Hookshot also lets you snap windows by simply dragging the window. Simply press the key combination to activate the snap mechanism and then simply the cursor to select an appropriate size and position for the window. For instance, press the ctrl+cmd key to activate and then move the cursor to the left of the screen to set the window to display on the left half.
Hookshot is a paid app but you can try it for 10 days for free and make up your mind for the final purchase.
Install Hookshot (free, $7.99)
4. Magnet
While there aren't many different ways to snap windows, Magnet does have some distinguishing features from the rest of the apps. For starters, you can activate the snapping mechanism by dragging the window with the cursor and position the windows into halves, quarters, and even sixths. Magnet also supports multiple displays, even in vertical alignments, and makes organizing windows really easy. Other than that, you also get keyboard shortcuts to assign any window a position on the screen.
Magnet is available on the App Store for $2.99.

5. Better Snap Tool
Better Snap Tool is a customizable app for window management on your mac computer. It has the most features of any app on the list that allows you to set custom modifiers for window snapping. The key feature is the customizable window size, other apps only give you halves, thirds, and quarters but with Better Snap Tool you can create a truly custom size and position for your windows.

Final Words
These were a few of the apps that allow you to customize your windows layout and manage it more effectively. Rectangle is the only free app that lets you snap windows and I would recommend it to most people. However, if you have specific requirements then Hookshot, Magnet, and Better Snap Tool are also decent alternatives. What do you think?

Hi Lenny. So I did some snooping and hopefully this will answer your questions.
There actually is a snapping tool in the MIDI editor. Just make sure that's on. So first go to Options > Snap Settings > Snap notes/cc to grid. Then use the option of Always snap notes to the left. But the default grid is set to 16th notes. So they will only snap to the nearest 16th note. If you want it to snap to 8th or quarter notes, change the grid on the bottom left part of the MIDI Editor. It's easy. It just says 'Grid' with a dropdown menu where you can change from 1/16 to 1/8 or 1/4, whatever.

For making all the notes the same length, right-mouse click and drag over the notes, which will select them all. Then select Event Properties in the menu that comes up. Make sure 'Type' says 'Notes' and put the note length in the 'Length' window. They default to using a decimal number system:
0.1.00 is a quarter note
0.0.50 is an eighth note
0.0.25 is a 6th note
0.0.13 is a 32nd note
But you can just put in 1/4 for quarter notes, 1/8 for 8th notes, 1 for whole notes, etc. Then all the notes you have selected will change to that length. That should do what you want. Hope that helps!
