Virtual Desktop Manager for Windows

[Download here](https://github.com/papplampe/virgo/releases/download/v.1.4.2/virgo.zip)

Features:

- resource friendly, exe is <10kb on disk and uses <1mb memory while running

- 4 virtual desktops (more if you change a constant and recompile the code)

- shows only a tray icon with the number of the desktop you are on

Hotkeys:

        ALT + 1..4             -> changes to desktop 1..4

        CTRL + 1..4            -> moves active window to desktop 1..4

        ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + Q -> exits the program

        ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + S -> starts/stops handling of other hotkeys

the nerds can build it with

        git clone https://github.com/papplampe/virgo.git

        cd virgo

        make

If you do not have gcc/make installed you can change that doing following

1. go to http://msys2.github.io/ and install it according to the instructions there

2. open msys2 shell and install mingw-w64-i686-gcc and mingw-w64-i686-make using pacman

3. duplicate C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\mingw32-make.exe and name it make.exe
