Screen Management Layer

A screen management layer is used to move applications around a screen or different monitors. I use this fairly often but usually only when I am starting an application. For this reason I have it as a nested layer requiring 2 thumb keys to activate.

For screen management, I use spectacle, but the latest supported version is rectangle. spectacle allows the screen to be divided into sections and has the ability to move applications to different monitors. Rectangle has very similar functionality with a couple extra features that I don't need yet. Rectangle has features like the ability to split screen in 6 sections or screens into fourths horizontally.
