@Revolutn:

Your steps take more time and moving of hands then dragging the window using the title bar. The point of ALT-Drag is to be fast at moving windows around. I use Linux (XFCE) and when I’m on my latop always find myself tryin to move windows with the ALT-DRAG with no luck. This addon is nice.

Of course you could just use the built into Windows functionality and not load another utility at all.

With the window you want moved on top and ‘active’:
1. Hold down Alt + Spacebar
2. Press the M key
3. Use the arrow keys to relocate the window
4. Press the Enter key when you have the Window in the desired location.

“Of course, this has been a built in feature of KDE for years.”

i am hearing that more and more often these days. maybe it’s time to try dual-booting :)

What’s wrong with 7zip?

And for all your unpacking needs give Universal Extractor a try – it’s a great piece of software. (Not affiliated – it’s just part of my toolbox!)

nice little app, but after running it for under a minute i already ran into conflicts – i needed to alt-click a toolbar button and alt drag got i the way :(
