Dear John Smith,
I'm glad to inform you that our Beta Testing section has been updated: beta 1 of Actual Window Manager 6.4 and Actual Multiple Monitors 3.1 are available there for downloading and testing.
Both beta versions offer two great features - the Mirroring facility and the ability to create custom hotkeys (see below for more details).
Issue contents:
Mirroring
This is another great feature for multi-monitor users: mirroring allows viewing a certain part of desktop in a separate floating window. Actual Tools have very flexible and powerful mirroring:
- you can create a mirror window for
- the area around the mouse pointer
- specified window
- specified monitor
- an arbitrary area of desktop
- you can create as many mirrors as you like and run them together (at the price of performance, of course)
- you can start/stop mirrors independently
- you can zoom the mirrored image in/out up to ten times
After creating the required mirrors, you can start/stop them via tray icon's context menu:

Create Custom Hotkeys
We've been asked many times to add such ability - and now it's available at last! You can add new items to the Hotkeys list by clicking the  button - the Select Action dialog appears (in Actual Window Manager; in Actual Multiple Monitors you can create custom hotkeys for the Move to Monitor action only):
After selecting the required action, you can specify the key combination and the additional parameters of the selected action:
You can create as many hotkeys for a certain action as you need (for example, several Resize hotkeys with different window sizes, several Move to Monitor hotkeys with different target monitors, etc.).

Minor Fixes and Improvements
You can make the background slideshow play sequential by disabling the random play order:
You can customize the modifiers key combination to suspend the window snapping, both classic and Aero (snapping stops working while you hold the specified keys pressed):
Now Aero Shake and Win-M hotkey minimize windows only on a monitor with the mouse pointer
The separate Start/Stop Program hotkeys are replaced with the single Toggle Program hotkey (Ctrl - Alt - Num- by default)
Icons pinned on secondary taskbars no more disappear
Virtual Desktops Switcher no more disappears after switching desktops
