General AltDrag usage

Tricks you should know

Note that those tricks are mostly the same than for the Original AltDrag

• AltDrag will not bring windows to front by default. Press Ctrl to bring the window to front, or configure AltDrag to do that automatically.
• AltDrag will mimic Aero Snap by default, so try dragging windows to the edges of your monitor. Corners work too!
• If you use multiple monitors, you can hold Ctrl or Shift while dragging to trap the window within the current monitor. This is particularly useful if you want to Aero Snap at edges between monitors.
• While dragging, windows borders will snap to each-other. This behavior can be changed in the config. If you disable it you can still press Shift while dragging to force windows borders to snap to each other.
• If you have automatic snapping enabled, you can temporarily disable it by pressing the space bar while dragging.
• If you are moving a window you can press the right mouse button to toggle the maximized state.
• If you use the scroll wheel to change the volume, you can hold shift to increase the rate the volume is changed. If you use the scroll wheel to change the transparency, you can hold shift to decrease the rate the transparency is changed.
• If you have Scroll inactive windows enabled, you can hold the Shift key to scroll horizontally. Note that this relies on that the program has support for normal horizontal mouse wheel scrolling, which not all programs have.
• If you can't move a particular window, try elevating AltDrag. Normal programs can't interact with programs that are started with administrator privileges.
• If you need to Alt+Click on a program and do not want to blacklist the program, you can use the Winkey instead of Alt. If this is not enough or if you do not want to use the Winkey, you can hit Ctrl and release it while keeping Alt pressed and then click.
• A key combo can be used in order to activate AltDrag, this allows using Alt+Winkey to drag windows and leaves alone the Win+Click and the Alt+Click that some programs may require.
• Try to add the Shift modifier key for any action, usually it has an effect.
