The KDE Mover-Sizer application was designed to be a background tool that emulates the behaviour of KDE, which is a rather good Linux desktop environment. Actually, Gnome and other Linux window managers also do it these days, but that wouldn't make for such a funky name. Essentially, you hold down the Alt key, and Left-click to move a window, Right-click to resize it; and from anywhere inside the window. That's it. And once you use it for a few minutes, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
The utility itself is coded with AutoHotKey, which is a bastard fork of AutoIt, but fairly useful in its own right. The original script (which I snaffled from the AutoHotKey forum, the best of many similar scripts) did all the above, but was missing something essential, that is; window snapping. So I added that, and gave them it back.
The window snapping is important for at least two reasons; 1) it enables you to place a window, as if by magic, exactly at the edge of your desktop. If, like me, you like to keep your main document windows in the centre of your screen, and leave lots of folder windows open up and down the sides of your desktop (I have a widescreen monitor now, which makes this even more effective) then you will find it invaluable. And 2) it enables you to resize the window from the edge of your screen. This is easier to do than to explain, though I'm going to attempt that anyway, with a couple of how-to style tips..
I've gotten into a couple of habits thanks to the KDE-mover-sizer. The first is a quick one-two action where I first Alt-Left-click a window and throw it roughly into place (off the edge of the screen), and then do a single Alt-Right-click to snap it back into perfect view. I've already had a week-off with all the time this good habit has saved me.
The second habit of one of resizing windows from the edge. First, I get them there, as in tip 1, then I grab a corner (anywhere in the quadrant is fine) with an Alt-right-click, and drag-resize them while the two opposite edges (one of which is bang up against the edge of the desktop) stay put. This isn't so much a time saver, as a sanity saver. I'm very particular about the amount of white space that shows in folder windows, and it they don't look right, I couldn't leave them open. Leaving them open is what saves time.
Another thing I've started doing, is sliding windows up and down the edge of my desktop by Alt-Left-click+drag. The snap keeps them from moving left and right - it's like they are on rails! Very handy. And remember, it works on windows behind windows, too, and without bringing them to the front.
I'm sure you have to play with it to fully appreciate the beauty of the system. Fortunately, I have a precompiled Windows executable which you can simply download and run. There's no installer, and it doesn't use the registry, or have any settings, so it's completely portable. When running, a cute tray icon enables you to exit, if required (unlikely!). Drop a shortcut into your startup folder, and then you're cooking with KDE!

What's New in This Release:
New features:
· Configurable hotkeys for mouse and keyboard (through presets or INI file)
· Windows can now be added to an "Ignore Window" list, e.g. for Remote
· Desktop or Photoshop).
· Windows on that list will not be moved or resized, but keys and clicks passed
· through.
· This allows you to use KDE-Mover-Sizer on a local and remote machine.
· Or just use the native shortcut keys of any application.
· Command to set the window "always on top" to always keep windows above
· others
· This is useful to keep small windows (e.g. calculator) always in the foreground.
· To restore "normal" behavior, toggle windows flag again.
· Mouse Wheel scrolling on inactive (focusless) windows is now possible (only works
· on applications that accept MouseWheel messages).
· Enable/Disable Double-Alt shortcuts
· Option to Show Window content or just a frame when dragging
· Option to automatically bring moved/resized windows into foreground on dragging
· Optional 3x3 resize grid to constrain movements depending on w...
