How to manipulate windows with thin borders

[AK-47]

For those who are using strange modern themes that have thin window borders, here are some nice tricks to manipulate them on XFCE.

Moving
To move a window, first move the mouse anywhere in the window. Press and hold Alt and the left mouse button at the same time. You will be able to move the window around while both Alt and Left Mouse button is pressed.

Resizing
To resize a window, move the mouse close to the edge or corner of the window where you want to resize. Once in position, press and hold Alt and the right mouse button at the same time, and you can resize the window while both Alt and Right Mouse is pressed.

The tolerance for resizing is huge, basically divide the window into 9 equal portions. Four of these manipulate the corners, and four will manipulate the edges. The portion in the middle should be avoided but can still resize the window. You have to be right at the edge of the window either, anywhere within a portion will work.

Also for resizing: pressing Alt + F8 jumps the cursor to the lower right corner, then just drag

Thanks for the great tip AK-47! I never knew about the resizing shortcut and that is going to save me some headaches!

using the active window button in the xfce4 panel
do a right click on the button and select Move or Resize with left-click.

Wow, great tips. With my 1080 display and my ageing eyes, resizing windows has frequently been an issue.

That's useful - I found I could resize with corner tool as far as 20% in from the corner - brilliant!

Isn't there a manual or wiki entry on this?.......

.....if you use Alt + f8 you can then just use the cursor keys to drag the edges - and the up down or left right will also move the resize cursor round to the next side!

Hello AK-47 and hello everyone
on a focused window
just as ALT+F8 is for Resize using mouse or arrows
the ALT+F7 is for Move using mouse or arrows.

is there wiki or manual? manual=none. wiki =yes asqwerth touches on this in MXwiki on xfce> Changing border size. Thank you asqwerth.
So it is great to have this now under this TIPS topic current.
Functionality like this is what make XFCE so great.

The focus of this topic is the first post TIPS by AK-47 can really bail you out sometimes or just plain express the easy way to Move and Resize.
