Random software plug for OSX people: Spectacle.

Hotkeys for "resize window to fill left/right/upper/lower half/quarter of screen", "fill screen", etc. Yes this should have all been built into the OS, but given that it's not, and how often I want to be able to read in one window and write in another without having to cycle between them, it's made a huge difference since I started using it a few days ago.

Related fun-fact: you may have to enable it manually, but OSX has a shortcut for "Move focus to active or next window", which functions much more like alt+tab in Win/Linux (cycle between windows instead of "oh, you want Chrome? here's five windows all brought to the foreground), another hugely helpful this-should-be-trivial feature.
