Pin Mode

Pin Mode docks one window, such as chat or notes, in a strip at the side of its display. Everything else you place there fits beside it.

Pin a window

Give Enable Pin Mode (toggle_pin) a shortcut on Settings → Pin Mode or the Keyboard Shortcuts page (none by default).
Click the window to pin.
Press the shortcut. It docks on the right, 25 % of the display wide, and overlapping windows move aside.

With Show Pin Mode in the menu on, you can also pin from the tray menu.
One window is pinned at a time. To move the pin, click another window and use Pin window (pin_window).

On that display only, these use the space beside the strip:

Run Enable Pin Mode again or close the pinned window; quitting TesseraSnap or the end of the Pro trial also unpins. Other windows stay put.

Run Reflow Around Pinned (reflow_pin) to move windows out from under the strip, keeping their size where it fits.

Open Settings → Pin Mode and tick Always pin an app.
In App to pin, type the file name, such as msedge.exe, or click Running apps… and pick it.
Click Save.

The app is pinned now, when TesseraSnap starts and when it opens a window, unless another window is pinned.
Unpinned by hand, it stays unpinned until it opens a new window.

On Settings → Pin Mode. Changes apply to the next placement.

Show Pin Mode in the menu pin.show_in_menu: Default: off. Shows Enable Pin Mode, Pin window and Reflow Around Pinned in the tray menu.
Always pin an app pin.enabled: Default: off. See Always pin an app.
App to pin pin.process: Default: none. The app to keep pinned.
Pinned window side pin.side: Default: Right. Docks the window at the Left or Right edge.
Pinned window width pin.width pin.width_px: Default: 25 %. Range 10 to 90 % of the display, also for a fixed width in pixels.
Reflow other windows when pinning pin.reflow_on_pin: Default: on. Moves overlapping windows aside when you pin; off leaves them for Reflow Around Pinned.
