Hyo Ahn has announced an update to his window management utility, OmegaWindow+. The new version, 1.1, includes both new features and a host of bug fixes. According to M. Ahn:
OmegaWindow+ (OW+) is a mouse-free window manager. It allows you to resize, move, zoom, collapse, close, toggle, restack, swap windows without ever touching your mouse. It relies on user-defined hot keys to provide a consistent way of manipulating a window from any applications and Finder.
New in version 1.1:
Bugs fixes:
Fix a problem of Window-Placement command with Mac OS 8.5 and 8.6.
Fix a redrawing and a cursor problem with Eudora (thanks to Franklin H. Holcomb and Roy Preston for testing)
Fix Window-Order commands with MS Word 98 (thanks to Jonathan Yang for testing).
Fix the Window-Placement problem with Internet Explorer 4.5 (Thanks to David Butler and Toinou for testing).
Fix the Window-Placement problem with MS Word and Excel (Thanks to Franklin H. Holcomb for testing).
Fix the problem of moving a collapsed window in Finder.

New features:

WindowShade: OmegaWindow+ now can do window-collapsing (thanks to Mic Berends for testing).
