One of the minor features I admire most in the common X11-Window-Manager implementations on Linux is the fact that you can move and resize Windows easily without first moving the mouse to a special location of the particular window: Dragging your mouse while holding Alt+(Left-Mouse-Button) will move the window, holding Alt+(Right-Mouse-Button) will resize the window on its nearest edge.<\/p>\n
I always missed this little feature when working on Windows. Today I found a script<\/a> for AutoHotkey<\/a><\/strong>, which is a free (GPL) scripting environment for hotkeys. After installing AutoHotkey, simply download and launch the script by double-clicking it and now you’ll have the same behaviour for window movement and resizing as under KDE. Really cool!<\/p>\n AutoHotkey can do a lot more, unfortunately I have not yet had time to try out more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the minor features I admire most in the common X11-Window-Manager implementations on Linux is the fact that you can move and resize Windows easily without first moving the mouse to a special location of the particular window: Dragging your mouse while holding Alt+(Left-Mouse-Button) will move the window, holding Alt+(Right-Mouse-Button) will resize the window … Continue reading “KDE-Style Window-Movement on Windows”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[79,78,80,81,29,14],"class_list":["post-41","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software","tag-automation","tag-hotkey","tag-scripting","tag-usability","tag-userinterface","tag-windows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dont-panic.cc\/capi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
