Feature Request: Click to drag/resize from anywhere within the window

Open nicolinux opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

I'd like to request the following feature. When a window is clicked (anywhere inside the window) and a modifier key is pressed at the same time, depending on which mouse button was clicked, the window would: a. if left click and move mouse - move the window. b. if right click and move mouse - resize the window.

This is similar to the core feature of the discontinued app "Flexiglass". That's how I found about Multitouch, it was listed as one of the best alternatives to Flexiglass.

Thanks

Rectangle Pro has this, but it's activated with just modifier keys (no mouse click).

For the click and move/resize in flexiglass, does it stop moving/resizing if you release the mouse click or the modifier key, or both?

It stops when either is released (modifier key or mouse button). In Flexiglass I have set it to shift+cmd and lmb for move and rmb for resize. It is very handy when a windows appears to keep holding shift+cmd pressed while using the left mouse button to first position the window and then right mouse button to resize it. It would be awesome to have this in Multitouch or Rectangle Pro!

@rxhanson would you consider implementing this feature in either tool (Multitouch or Rectangle Pro)?

Thanks for checking in. I would, but I don't have a timeframe for getting to that one yet. If I start work on it, I'll post back here.
