I had GridMove on my last computer and I absolutely loved it. I just want it back. All of the pages with the installer on it are gone, so this is the only place I can find GridMove but I have no idea what to do with the files once I've downloaded them.

Quickest, easiest method: download the installer from the Wayback Machine's archive


How to use this archive (for a slightly more updated version)

The simplest way is to run GridMove.ahk by opening it with AutoHotkey

  • Installing AutoHotkey should associate it with *.ahk files, but double-clicking the GridMove.ahk file results in an error. So open the file by dragging the file to AutoHotkeyU32.exe, instead.

There is also a way to compile the GridMove.ahk into GridMove.exe like the original installer, but it's not as simple. See AutoHotkey documentation to do that.


Pro tip: Use this fork that fixes the gaps in Windows 10

@Leftium thank you for responding so quickly and with such detail.

I tried installing AutoHotkey and running GridMove.ahk but I get the error
"Error at line 1587
#include file "files.ahk" cannot be opened.
The program will exit."

That error also procludes compiling it into an .exe

Maybe I'll try to fork for windows 10, if not I'll get the old version from wayback.

Thanks again.

@LEXWORTHY: OK, I just checked, and for some reason double-clicking the associated file doesn't work.

Dragging the GridMove.ahk file to AutoHotkeyU32.exe works, though. (The method I used because my system didn't have AHK files associated)

@LEXWORTHY: The "open with..." dialog gives me the same error (after double-clicking the first time), but after checking "always open" and associating AHK files, double-clicking GridMove.ahk works for me.

Thanks again @Leftium I got the windows 10 version to run, but there were some errors (the windows would snap and then resize to an incorrect size) so I decided to go back and download the Archive.org version and that seems to work for me.
