Update the window right-click menu to show the new window management options

Submitted by eikonoklastes2 on January 16, 2009 to Usability

The great new window handling shorcuts need more exposure in the UI. The right click menu of the window titlebars seems to be the most logical place to put them.

Note: These aren't suggestions for new shortcuts. These already exist in Build 7000.

Something like the image mock-up.

Too complex.
AeroSnap is easier and quickier to use with mouse gestures.

Well, these are the actual movements microsoft added

antiufo, like Chris said - I'm not suggesting any new shortcuts - these already exist. Try them out.
