icon Easy Move+Resize

Adds easy modifier key + mouse drag move and resize to OSX

Usage

Easy Move+Resize is based on behavior found in many X11/Linux window managers

  • Cmd + Ctrl + Left Mouse anywhere inside a window, then drag to move.
  • Cmd + Ctrl + Right Mouse anywhere inside a window, then drag to resize,
    • The resize direction is determined by which region of the window is clicked. i.e. a right-click in roughly the top-left corner of a window will act as if you grabbed the top left corner, whereas a right-click in roughly the top-center of a window will act as if you grabbed the top of the window.
    • To use the middle mouse button as the resize modifier, select the Middle Click resize menu item.
  • The choice of modifier keys to hold down to activate dragging or resizing can be customized by toggling the appropriate modifier key name in the application icon menu.
    • Click the menu item to toggle it.
    • All keys toggled to selected must be held down for activation.
  • Behavior can be disabled by toggling the Disabled item in the application icon menu.
  • If you are dragging or resizing a window in the background and want it to rise to the top, select the Bring Window to Front menu item.
  • To restore application settings, select the Reset to Defaults menu item.
