Allow customized mouse key bindings

[dmarcotte]

For both move and resize, offer a preference where users can choose which modifier keys + which mouse button triggers the action

Update: modifier keys can now be configured, but customized mouse button bindings still need to be implemented. I have updated the issue title to reflect this.

+1! Clicking and dragging with two fingers on a trackpad is a bit difficult, so I'd love to be able to set my own key bindings.

And as an aside, great work on this! I was really happy stumble across it after watching this talk by Ryan Florence, where he uses something similar. (Turns out he actually uses Zooom/2, which is not free or open source, but also looks cool.) I also raved about it a bit on an Apple StackExchange question called Raise/lower/move/resize windows with mouse + modifier keys.

+1. I'd want to bind the modifier key to just Cmd

@cedricbastin would like to see this too (#10)

Yes this is a good idea, especially since a right click drag is not possible on a MacBook!
Also it would be nice to show the key binding "Cmd + Ctrl + Drag = Move Window" when clicking on the menu item, because sometimes I forget and get lost in all the keyboard shortcuts I have to remember =)

Configurable keys would be cool.

In the meantime, I perform this "ceremony" to resize:

• Hold Ctrl+Cmd
• Place two fingers on the trackpad
• Press (click) with one finger
• Hold the pressure with that finger while dragging the other (which doesn't need to press)

Hope that helps 😄

Progress here: @rajpaulbagga recently sent some pulls that enable custom modifier keys. Thanks @rajpaulbagga! Will cut a release soon.

Configurable mouse buttons is still an open issue, but this is a nice step forward.

The new release with customizable key bindings is now available: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize/releases/tag/1.1.0

Just installed and started to use this, as Flexiglass App is no longer supported or working properly on Mac Silicon/Big Sur. Works great! Thanks! Is creating customizable mouse button triggers still on the roadmap?

Going to close this in favor of the more focused #69
