Thanks! I'll pass your kind words on to Peter, Many Tricks' founder and programmer extraordinaire.

There is, if you're willing to have the custom controls visible in the green button pop up. Go to Moom's prefs > Mouse and check "Enable access to custom controls" and "Show on hover" (you may want to experiment, and find that you prefer a click for this instead of on hover). Once that's done, you'll see your custom  controls on the green button. If you hold the Option key, snapshot custom controls will change to "Update."

If you don't want this on the green button, you can get the same effect by just holding Option and choosing Moom's menu bar item.

Hi,

1. I find myself positioning and resizing a specific window, then bringing 
up Moom preferences, and updating the snapshot with merge option for a 
custom arrange windows option.

2. Is there a way to reduce this to hovering over the green zoom button and 
selecting an option to perform the steps in #1 above?

Thanks.
