The old linux/X11 method of meta+dragging to move or resize windows from anywhere in the window, not having to hunt for the edges of the window, is so obviously superior to Windows and MacOS it's downright silly. They both should have swallowed their pride and implemented this 30 years ago.

- jackwilsdon 10mo agoMoving windows like this is already built into macOS but it's hidden behind a flag for some reason: defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true You can then use Control+Command+Click to move windows from anywhere inside them. Sadly this doesn't provide resizing.

- oneeyedpigeon 10mo agoI think you still need to. I just tested and it doesn't take immediate effect. Which means I’ve now got to try to remember that keyboard shortcut and try it out the next time I restart...
