ALT + Left Click to Drag and ALT + Right Click to resize windows on Windows?

Coming from Linux, I really miss some features of window manager like xfwm, etc...

One thing I got used to was to be able to drag or resize a window while holding the ALT key.

Is there such a tool on Windows?

Thanks,

Because alt+click in Windows may have special meaning and can be hooked by the app. Personally I don't see any much improvements using it. Most of the time I maximizes the apps, even on Linux. Therefore I rarely resize any windows. Why do you want a narrow terminal window and then have long lines wrapped around. In some cases snapping windows using windows+left/right is better – phuclv – 2016-11-01T15:44:43.940

3@LưuVĩnhPhúc - We all have different ways of using windows. I use this tool constantly and almost never maximize windows. – jahroy – 2016-11-05T04:16:50.437
