; Easy Window Dragging -- KDE style (requires XP/2k/NT) -- by Jonny ; http://www.autohotkey.com ; This script makes it much easier to move or resize a window: 1) Hold down ; the ALT key and LEFT-click anywhere inside a window to drag it to a new ; location; 2) Hold down ALT and RIGHT-click-drag anywhere inside a window ; to easily resize it; 3) Press ALT twice, but before releasing it the second ; time, left-click to minimize the window under the mouse cursor, right-click ; to maximize it, or middle-click to close it. ; This script was inspired by and built on many like it ; in the forum. Thanks go out to ck, thinkstorm, Chris, ; and aurelian for a job well done. ; Change history: ; November 07, 2006: Optimized resizing code in !RButton, courtesy of bluedawn. ; February 05, 2006: Fixed double-alt (the ~Alt hotkey) to work with latest versions of AHK. ; The Double-Alt modifier is activated by pressing ; Alt twice, much like a double-click. Hold the second ; press down until you click. ; ; The shortcuts: ; Alt + Left Button : Drag to move a window. ; Alt + Right Button : Drag to resize a window. ; Double-Alt + Left Button : Minimize a window. ; Double-Alt + Right Button : Maximize/Restore a window. ; Double-Alt + Middle Button : Close a window. ; ; You can optionally release Alt after the first ; click rather than holding it down the whole time. If (A_AhkVersion < "1.0.39.00") { MsgBox,20,,This script may not work properly with your version of AutoHotkey. Continue? IfMsgBox,No ExitApp } ; This is the setting that runs smoothest on my ; system. Depending on your video card and cpu ; power, you may want to raise or lower this value.
