How do I move or resize a window by dragging anywhere inside it?

Turn on “Move Windows with Modifier Keys” in Settings → Windows & Spaces → Move & Resize. Hold the move keys (⌃⌘ by default) and drag anywhere in a window to move it. Right-drag, or hold the resize keys (⌃⌥⌘ by default), to resize from the nearest corner.

Step by step

  1. Open Settings → Windows & Spaces and find Move & Resize.
  2. Switch on “Move Windows with Modifier Keys”. It uses the Accessibility permission.
  3. Pick other combinations under “Move Keys” and “Resize Keys” if the defaults clash with your shortcuts.
  4. Set “Start Moving” to When You Move the Pointer to move a window just by holding the keys, without clicking.

Good to know

Every key choice uses at least two modifiers, so ordinary typing never starts a move.

Full-screen windows, the desktop and Notchy's own windows stay put.
