Window snap to edges while resizing without modifier hotkeys

Very rare for me to use a program and to not be able to find much to suggest.
This program offers so much, really was not expecting it when I started testing it out the other day, pleasantly surprised, again great work.
Even this suggestion is probably not needed because is already achieved with a modifier key, but is kind of the counterpart to my other question/post #418.
Maybe can add the ability to be able to resize windows and allow them to snap to other window edges as well as screen edges, but without a modifier key needed.
If you look in settings in Mouse tab under the "Mouse Actions" setting
Can put "Alternative" under "Primary" then to the right of those, can put "While Moving" and "While Resizing" underneath it and then to the right of those can put "Titlebar" and something like "Window Edge" under that so that all six items form a little rectangle. : : :
Tricky thing would be not much room for the check boxes to activate "Window Edge" section like ones to activate "Titlebar" section, can maybe shorten wording and put to the right of those check boxes.
Anyways, again not something that is necessarily needed, just some odd coincidences I for some reason just had to mention it.
Only five radio buttons just looking for a sixth.
and
"Moving" would have "Titlebar" to the right which relates to moving and "Resizing" would have "Window Edge" to its right which relates to resizing.
Just strange :)
Thanks again for great program
Interesting consideration, I actually thought about that, because it would not be difficult actually.
The thing is that, the title bar is already a small target for the scope of AltSanp, and the zizing borders are crazy small compared to the actual regions that you can yse on Alt+click.
I would rather spend the time I have to work on improving other features because the point of AltSnap is to avoid small click targets. that are time consuming to aim for.
There are other ways to avoid using the keyboard, while still retaining the large target advantage. For example you can use the midle mouse button as a hot click and combine it with the to resize action, like this MMB Will resize the window, A long click will forward the real MMB, and if you activate the avoid blocking Alt+click action, you will have MMB to be instantly forwarded if no drag occurred.
Also you could use MMB as a hotclikc andset MMB action to Nothing then combine MMB+LMB to move and MMB+RMB to resize, In this case MMB will not be blocked when you do not combine it with another click.
I still might implement your suggestion in the future.

Thank you for your response, as mentioned, I totally agree.
As I said really only brought it up because of the coincidences that stood out.
Anyways thanks again for all the great work you are putting into this application.
