with NUMLOCK off, pushing number keys will move windows around. 8 will resize a window to fit 1/8th of your screen (1/4 width, 1/2 height.)

Similar operations for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. CTRL does things in combination with 3, 4, and 6, so try those.

Numpad * (with numlock off, always) will arrange a window to occupy 1/12th of the screen (1/6th horizontally and 1/2 vertically).

Available Public Wildcard DNS Domains pointing to localhost (127.0.0.1)

The best way to safely and securely use local domains pointing to 127.0.0.1 is to edit your local settings (/etc/hosts) and add your own settings. Keep in mind if you want to use subdomains, you need to enter all variations.

Example:

# Adding bottom of your current file /etc/hosts
################# MY LOCAL DOMAINS
127.0.0.1 local.com admin.local.com
127.0.0.1 domain1.com
