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 spectaclearrow-up-right, but the latest supported version is rectanglearrow-up-right. 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.
