iPadOS Lets You Automate Window Placement with Shortcuts

This article discusses a new feature in iPadOS Shortcuts where the 'Open App' action now includes a 'Window Location & Size' field, enabling users to automate window placement with presets like Full Screen, Left, Right, and more. The author created a proof-of-concept shortcut called MultiSwitcher that uses 'Get Current App' to resize the foreground window without manual input, offering a visual menu for layout selection. This provides an elegant, third-party-free way to control multitasking on iPad, though it still lacks the depth of macOS window managers.
