DEPRECATED: Use Easy Move+Resize instead

Why the change? Easy Move+Resize is a rewrite which provides the following benefits:

  • Near-universal compatibility (any application which supports the Accessibility API is supported)
  • Removes the dependency on SIMBL
  • Released as an application which greatly improves installation/usability

Easy Move/Resize for Mac

Adds easy modifier key + mouse click move/resize capabilities to OSX

Usage

This enhancement is based on behavior found in many X11 window managers:

  • Cmd + Ctrl + Left Mouse Click anywhere inside a window, then drag to move
  • Cmd + Ctrl + Right Mouse Click anywhere inside a window, then drag to resize (the resize direction is determined by which region of the window is clicked. i.e. a right-click in roughly the top-left corner of a window will act as if you grabbed the top left corner, whereas a right-click in roughly the top-center of a window will act as if you grabbed the top of the window)

Installation
