How do I move a window without using the mouse?

Posted by: admin In: admin| hints & tips| linux| software| windows

Short version: Alt-F3, M, then use cursor keys.

Alt-F3 enters the “window menu” or “window configuration menu” for the currently focussed application / program.

M is the underlined letter in Move, this will then bring up the “compass” cursor over the window to be moved.

Cursor keys - up, down, left, right - then move the window around.
