This is simple Alfred workflow to help you manage opened windows. It is simple (50 lines of applescript) but powerful tool. It allows you to create your own layouts, custom sizes and custom proportion.
Requirements
Some of the mac OS apps are non-scriptable which means they are not working very well with applescript. Fortunately "SystemEvents" can handle them really well. Few simple steps are required to enable Alfred's access to Accessibility tools.
1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to Security & Privacy
3. Go to last Privacy tab
4. On the left panel choose Accessibility
5. Unlock access to preferences by clicking lock in bottom left corner and pass your password
5. Click small `+` icon and add Alfred from the list.
6. Done
Other windows managers requires similar procedure. It is not related with Div only. If you use older operating system than El Capitan, have a look at great instruction on [Mizage website](http://mizage.com/help/accessibility.html).

How to use
I published a detailed instruction on my personal website. Have a look if you are keen to understand a full potential of Div.
Choose predefined layout
Simply type `div` in Alfred window and choose layout from predefined list.
Custom bounds
Choose custom bounds by passing 4 space separated values. For example `div 20 20 80 80` will place top left corner of an app 20% from top and 20% from left edge of a screen, and bottom right corner 80% from top and 80% from left edge of a screen.
Custom size
Choose custom size by passing 2 space separated values. For example `div 800 600` will resize your window to 800px width and 600px height and place the window on the middle of a screen.
Hotkeys
Use predefined settings and bind custom hotkeys to them to place window in common locations:
- ⌃ ⌥ 1 Full
- ⌃ ⌥ 2 Medium
- ⌃ ⌥ 3 Small
- ⌃ ⌥ ← Left
- ⌃ ⌥ → Right
- ⌃ ⌥ ↑ Top
- ⌃ ⌥ ↓ Bottom
This workflow will sort paragraphs alphabetically.

Changes:
1.0.1
Changes settings to use checkbox. Much prettier!
Updates the name in some places I did not know of.
This would be very helpful when working on extremely repetitive copy-paste tasks.
Maybe, an option could be to trigger this behaviour using the ⌥ key, as JJJJ mentioned. But, if the clipboard viewer has to close to trigger the focus change, using ⌥ would reopen automatically the clipboard viewer, removing the need to use the shortcut again.
