What is Reddit's opinion of altdrag?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The password is used to get the decryption key for access to all your data, the fingerprint or other biometrics are just used to unlock the screen to access all your already decrypted data. That's the gist of the top answer to this stack exchange question.

Another benefit of this I see mentioned a lot on Reddit is that American law enforcement can force you to unlock anything protected by biometrics, but they can't force you to enter a password. I've seen plenty of recommendations of rebooting your phone before crossing the border because they will go through everything.

The last two games I played both failed at this to varying degrees.

Trails in the Sky FC didn't lock the cursor to the screen even in non-borderless fullscreen mode so I was often clicking outside the window and minimizing it by accident. This was compounded by the fact that it would sometimes crash when I un-minimized it.

Wolfenstein: The New Order I couldn't click out of, but the mouse was clearly moving around the screen. How do I know that? Because I use Alt-Drag to move and resize windows, and when I was clicking around in Wolfenstein while leaning (Alt), windows were flying all over the place.

and the one that really bothers me, altdrag: https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

edit: update altdrag link

1. Open Kerbal Space Program/settings.cfg
2. Edit SCREEN_RESOLUTION_WIDTH and SCREEN_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT. Height should be the vertical resolution of your monitor with the least vertical resolution. Width should be the sum of the widths of all the monitors you want to use. Note that these values will revert to the size of your primary monitor any time you apply settings.
3. Install alt-drag so you can move the KSP window where it needs to go. It can move the window even when -popupwindow is enabled, which is nice.
4. Run KSP. Use alt+left click to put the window where it needs to go. Note that you will have to disable alt-drag in order to transfer fuel, unless you re-bind the key in one application or the other.

Here's KSP on two 1280x1024s and one 1920x1080.

You're not doing anything wrong - this is an issue with (I believe) every iteration of the Creation Kit. My solution is to use a program called AltDrag which allows you to move the edit windows up and down by using the Alt key.

Late to the discussion, but I see you don't have an answer yet so I have a suggestion for an alternative.

On Linux one of my most used shortcuts is Alt+click to move any window, you can click anywhere in the window too. Not just titlebars or specific areas. There's a Windows app that performs this functionality too, I haven't used it myself but I've seen it recommended on stack exchange and the ubuntu forums, and it's on GitHub so I'm guessing it's pretty legit. https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

Hi there!

There isn't an option, but I think you could modify the source code to make it work the way you want. I'm sorry for not offering to do it for you, but I haven't worked on AltDrag for a while because I'm really busy these days.

You'd probably want to change the code around here: https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/blob/master/hooks.c#L1588

You could add something like "if (state.origin.maximized) return;" and it might do the trick.

Then the instructions to compile the code is here: https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/doc/build.html

Good luck!

I do hope you're reading replies to this threadkiller, because I really think that you should put Alt Drag in the misc section. I feel crippled at any computer without it. It lets me drag/resize windows using the alt (or I prefer the windows) key. Simple, but AMAZING.

In related news, as someone who flits back and forth between Windows and Linux on a daily basis, I recommend https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

"AltDrag gives you the ability to move and resize windows in a new way. After starting AltDrag, you can simply hold down the Alt key and then click and drag any window.

This behavior already exists in Linux and other operating systems, and AltDrag was made with the mission to copy that behavior to the Windows platform, and then to further expand it with new intuitive functionality.

You can use AltDrag in many ways. Here are some examples:

Hold down the Alt key, then drag windows with the left mouse button. Use the right mouse button to resize windows. It will resize from the corner or edge you grab closest to. Hold down the Shift key to snap to other windows. You can enable automatic snapping in the options."

You may have to use software if the application doesn't natively support windowed mode.

If the application in question is a game then dxWnd might work:

https://nitrotech.info/force-window-mode-games-dxwnd/

If it's not a game then try AltDrag, it can let you resize apps that doesn't otherwise allow resizing of their window.

https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

I also use the taskbar at the top. The truth is that this problem is rarely happening to me, but when it happens, I use the Alt + Space keys to access the title bar menu, then Maximize the window and then, drag it from the title bar. You may find the AltDrag program useful.

idonno but try using altdrag

I use this on every windows computer I have to use: https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

Alt+Click to drag a window is suck muscle memory I legitimately think that something is broken if it doesn't work. I don't remember if it does resize or not as I rarely use that shortcut

This 100%. So annoying when you can't drag a window using the shortest possible way to reach the title bar. But it's been less of a problem with altdrag. Highly recommended if you use 2 monitors. Doesn't play well with remote desktop but the computer giveth and the computer taketh.

I was planning to make instructions on how to use all the modules of my Master script. But that turned out to be harder than I imagined since many of them are interdependent. I am still planning to do it eventually, but it's honestly not a priority. So for the meantime, if you find any of the modules interesting, feel free to ask me for how to use it.

As for WinSizer, Download winSizer and Toast to the same folder. Then make a new script with the following code:

#include Toast.ahk #include winSizer.ahk #UseHook

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ; This is important! winSizer.__new()

MButton:: winSizer.start()

;MButton Up:: winSizer.end() ; Will block MButton from doing anything else

MButton Up:: ; MButton does its default function when you didnt drag if !winSizer.end() send, {MButton down}{MButton up} return

You should also check out AltDrag which is honestly a better implementation than my script.

Hey, if you really want to get rid of the titlebar and drag the windows, these are the following tools that will help you:

• Remove Title Bar: download
• To drag the windows use ALT+Drag

Put another window on top of it. If you're on Windows, you can use DeskPins to keep the covering even in fullscreen mode. You might also use AltDrag for snappier window moving controls.

There's probably software specifically designed for this (drawing empty boxes on top of the screen?), but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Alternatively, learn to get used to it. I couldn't stand facecams when I first started watching streams and let's plays for the same reason. They'll grow on you if you let them.

If you are using Linux, you can do this through window manager (depending on what you use for a window management). I am using Compiz, and I have it configured so I can both move, resize, iconify and so on with keyboard shortcuts.

If you are using Windows there is AltDrag which can do similar. If you are a Mac user, switch to a better OS ;-).

-After using Linux, I just realized Alt + mouse click is really useful to control the app window so I download this https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ to skip the UAC message, just create at Task with Task Scheduler to start the program every time you log in.

-Not sure why printer on my work doesn't like Linux. It just plugged in and works but not so well. The print result is not proper (got cut on the top margin). So I decided to install Windows 10 again alongside Linux just for working purpose. I feel Linux (especially with a proper KDE desktop environment) is still snappier.

-My laptop is still fucked up. I can't suspend it because maybe firmware bug related. I already update the SSD firmware released today, the vendor said it will fix the problem, but doesn't. I'm using the latest BIOS too. Maybe it's time to use NVMe and use the current SATA3 M.2 as ext.SSD?

I've had the issue with youtube chrome since forever, it doesn't bother me, usually what I do is mannually resize the window to be exactly the size of the monitor using a program I have called AltDrag, it just allows any window to be resized or dragged around the screen when you hold alt, I use it because it lets me resize as close to the corners as I can without activating the auto-snapping.

I agree, third party tools are essential. I use Alfred and Flexiglass and combined they cover all of the stuff you list.

I also use a ton of third party customizations on Windows, like Alt-Drag (if you haven't heard of it before, you're welcome), AutoHotKey, and Greenshot.

Hi arthurno1.

The build instructions are here: https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/doc/build.html

I don't know if msys2+mingw is equivalent to Cygwin. Or maybe they changed something and my instructions are out of date.

These days I prefer to use Bash on Windows to compile stuff in Windows. I haven't made a build script for AltDrag yet, but you can see the one for SuperF4 here: https://github.com/stefansundin/superf4/blob/master/build.sh

In the future, I will rewrite the build instructions with Bash on Windows in mind.

Alt Drag You will never be able to use a computer without it once you start using it. AltDrag gives you the ability to move and resize windows in a new way. After starting AltDrag, you can simply hold down the Alt key (or configure it to the Windows key) and then click and drag any window.

This behavior already exists in Linux and other operating systems, and AltDrag was made with the mission to copy that behavior to the Windows platform, and then to further expand it with new intuitive functionality.

Love this feature ever since I first saw it in some version of Ubuntu.

This (scroll in inactive, focused window), as well as alt-dragging, is available for any Windows version in altdrag. https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/

I love my G600 so much I made my work buy one for me to use there. When not in a game, I use the following layout for the side buttons:

On my work Mac, I replace Win+Tab and Windows with Next/Previous Space.

I couldn't imagine using a desktop computer without an MMO mouse anymore.

I was talking about this guy but yours sounds cool too.

Just allows you to move around/resize active and inactive windows. Also has some other minor window management tweaks. If I don't have it, life just feels empty and cold.

AltDrag (old project page)

lets you move a window or resize it by dragging any part of the window (something that GNU/Linux window managers have)

also lets you change your PC volume by holding a key and spinning the scroll wheel (off by default)

if you get this, you won't need WizMouse, KatMouse, or AllSnap, although that functionality is off by default
