Move Window by Click Draging It


I didn't realise I use this regularly, but now that I'm on macOS, I'm now aware of this tiny, but useful feature of X11.

You can get X11-like move window by clicking anywhere on it by setting this flag true:

$ defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true

and then logout and in again.

It's <cmd> + <ctrl> + <click> rather than <alt> + <click> but close enough.
