I know Hyprland and some other tiling window managers do this, which is nice. Though with the keyboard shortcuts, I can easily resize windows with just the keyboard, too.
This is the _one_ feature I miss so so much on macOS. There is a hidden option to allow moving a window in a similar way but not one for resizing which makes me sad :(
In Cinnamon I had setup a bunch of keyboard shortcuts to toggle always on top for a window (Super + NumPad_0), and to tile it left or right (Super + Arrows). Maybe some of them were enabled by default. It was nice and every window manager should have this and what you show here. I don't like that on Windows you cannot prevent a program to open its window on the foreground, covering what you are doing.
Glad to see you back!
Love using this personally on desktop. Feels too much like playing twister when using a trackpad on a laptop.
I had no idea about this, and apparently it works by default as you've shown in the video in KDE, no configs needed.
Thanks for the tip! love it!

The legend id back. After all this time...
A while ago I mapped one of the extra buttons on my mouse to the super key, making this feature even more convenient

Great feature. I used to use it a lot before I discovered dynamic tiling 🙂.
This is the default on Qtile, what a great WM
By default, you can also resize windows on GNOME with super + scroll wheel (press in).
Welcome back! What happened to you, pal?
Useful to know, but I find it easier to use hand-eye coordination than mouse-keyboard

Why the middle click isn't able to close windows? Even not configurable in most DEs?
Every time I have to use Windows for some reason I catch myself doing this and then I'm always disappointed.
it works on KDE too!
IIRC, this is what screws up column-select in my IDE.
Cool Video, but a real Linux Palladin uses his keyboard for this and vim keys for moving and resizing. I use Hyprland btw😎
Doesn't work on Manjaro because it's not configured by default.
