MultiWindow Shortcuts (formerly Paired Window Shortcuts) is an app that allows you to create paired window shortcuts on the homescreen or other third-party launchers or apps that support and can launch shortcut widgets. You can also use third-party gesture apps to launch a paired window.

MultiWindow Shortcuts can be any combination of your current multiwindow-enabled apps and you can create as many as you want. On the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014, you can also create multi window shortcut of the same app provided that app is MULTI-INSTANCE-enabled like the stock Browser.

There are two ways to create a multi window shortcuts: One is by through the app icon on the launcher drawer and second is through a shortcut widget located on the Widget Section of your launcher. Third-Party apps that can launch shortcuts can also use the shortcut widget to create a custom Paired Window.

The number of apps to choose from is dependent on how many apps are multiwindow-enabled on your device. If your device has root, then you can use Multiwindow Apps Manager to add more multiwindow apps. If not rooted, then you can use MW Apps Enabler/MW-Pen App Enabler to add more multiwindow apps.
