  • How do i toggle full screen
    Not the best solution, but this handy utility worked for me for clicking unreachable buttons. https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/. Source: 11 months ago
  • My company forces me to use Cringedows, what can I do to suffer less?
    • If you like the win+mouse way to move/resize windows, you can also install alt drag. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What do you guys use for tiling?
    I actually stopped using tiling since I discovered altdrag. For me its usually faster to move/resize my windows to current prefered size/location than to find a perfect tiling setup that works for every situation. https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Alternative Launcher Beginner Questions
    My preferred solution to point two is using AltDrag, which lets you quickly and easily reposition windows by holding Alt. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Edge – Closing a 30 pixel gap between native and web
    Yep, I find it pretty funny that my #1 favorite desktop UI feature is from Linux. One of the first things I'll put on a fresh install of Windows or MacOS is a utility that re-creates the behavior. I use AltDrag on Windows (requires a quick tweak for HiDPI): https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ And Easy Move + Resize on MacOS: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
