I'm not sure whether this is necessarily a natural fit for DisplayFusion, but since various other window positioning/management features have made their way in, and I'm a huge fan of this feature on various Linux distros, I figured I'd ask anyway. It's just a simple feature where holding down the alt key allows you to drag the window as though you were dragging the title-bar. Similarly alt + middle-mouse dragging allows quick and easy resizing of the window (as though you'd grabbed the nearest corner).
You realise you can configure hotkeys for this kind of behaviour?
I have CTRL-` (next to 1) and CTRL-SHIFT-` with 3 monitors it goes left to right, when holding down shift, right to left. Like a tabbed application.
I mean the ALT thing might be cool too (I'd never use it) but it might make it difficult depending on the hotkeys the program itself would like to use. Interesting idea though.
I get what you're saying, but it's not the same functionality at all. I'm not specifically thinking of moving a window between screens, rather move it wherever. I use Linux most of the day and have firmly gotten used to grabbing any window with the ALT key to move it instead of using the (much smaller) titlebar to move it. In other words whenever I'm on windows I find myself spending a few seconds wondering why a window is "hanging" when I try to move it. Ditto with regards to resizing. I've tried using AltDrag instead, but it's buggy and keeps silently crashing in the background, making it not much better than vanilla Windows.
Quite possibly, although configurable like most the shortcuts now would be great of course. I can't think of any programs off the top of my head that will respond to ALT and a mouse click, though I suppose there's bound to be some.
We've actually had the Alt + Drag feature requested in the past
It's not something we've been able to implement, but it's still on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to post an update if/when we're able to implement it in the future.
Having gone back and re-read this - that is a pretty cool little feature. I wonder if there's another way to do it?
How does the whole hotkey API think work for Windows?
Could you have say ALT-SHIFT and then left click work? - so Display Fusion owns the alt-left shift hotkey and from there it interprets the mouse click or no?
Is this even possible under Windows 7 onwards?
My guess would be somehow you would actually capture the region of the titlebar which is clickable and magically expand that clickable region to be the size of the Window.
In theory itsounds simple but in practice who knows.
I've just came across this as well and would really like this in DF as well. So if that votes are still counted, you can add mine to the list
I've always worked with AltDrag so far which works like a charm. But one less too to install would be really great.
One small addition though: It should be possible to blacklist certain apps from this behaviour. For example, "OBS" uses Alt+Drag to change crop regions in video sources. AltDrag does support blacklists, but I never managed to get them working. So when setting up a scene in OBS, I always need to quit AltDrag to make it usable.
args... I did not pay attention with my log-in credentials. Not sure if it adds any weight to the vote, but I have actually bought DF. The post #17 from before is me, just posting this to have some sort of link with a paid account
Add another vote to the pile, if it makes any difference.
As for alternatives, the AHK based KDE Mover-Sizer seems to work better for me than most other (fullblown) apps. Still wish there was a native function in DisplayFusion though.

How does this compare to AltDrag? I've never had any issues with AltDrag.
