Move windows around with ctrl+cmd+drag

 · 1 min · torgeir

I always felt like macos was missing the ability to move windows around with super+drag, like linux window managers or desktop environments often do.

Macos

Turns out, you can enable a similar setting on macos, that enables the key combination ctrl+cmd+drag to move windows around, without having to drag from the topmost part of the window:

defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true

So, almost, I guess.

On nix-darwin you can do this to enable the same thing :

system.defaults.NSGlobalDomain.NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture = true;
