Move and resize windows

AltDrag is a completely free personalization program specially dedicated to Windows desktops. In the most modern way, it provides you the capability to move and resize your browser or application windows. As its title suggests, you’ll be able to do this by simply pressing down the Alt button from your keyboard and then proceeding to click and drag a specific window.

Besides that, you can quickly close, minimize, or make a certain window stay on top of other frames as well with simple key combinations. AltDrag is an affordable alternative to paid software like Actual Window Manager and AquaSnap.

Portable windows manager

AltDrag is portable. Thus, it requires no installation to utilize its functions fully. Just click the executable file to launch the solution. You can even store it on any removable storage unit and run it on different computers instantly. It guarantees that no modification will be done on your Windows registry settings. Once it’s launched, its icon will sit quietly on the system tray area.

From then on, you can move a selected window anywhere on the screen by easily holding down the ‘Alt’ key. Not only that, but it also delivers configuration settings that you can customize to your preferences. For instance, you can designate the ‘Ctrl key to focus your windows, scroll inactive windows, enable MDI support, as well as force windows to snap to the screen borders automatically. 

In addition, you can alter the language of your interface and even set AltDrag to run at the same time as every Windows startup. Meanwhile, further actions such as resize, minimize, stay on top can be applied using your mouse buttons—left, middle, right, the fourth and fifth, and scroll wheel. It can actually be triggered with the Alt key button by default.

Convenient personalization utility

Linux and Mac OS do their job well at managing separate windows. However, if you are using a Windows computer, it’d be best to try something like AltDrag to help things fit together more neatly. It’s a handy package that allows you to move windows from point to point by effortlessly hitting down the Alt key button. Simple and lightweight, it’ll greatly improve the way you drag and drop windows.
