AltSnap: Tired of Always Reaching for That Tiny Title Bar

Solves in one sentence: Tired of aiming for those few pixels of title bar every time you move a window? AltSnap lets you hold the Alt key and click anywhere on a window to drag it.

This is a frustration every Windows user knows: you want to drag a window to the other side of the screen, and your mouse has to precisely target that tiny title bar at the very top, then hold and drag. If the window is one of those apps without a title bar, you don’t even know where to start.

AltSnap changes all that.

What Is AltSnap?

AltSnap (formerly AltDrag) is a lightweight window management tool. Hold the Alt key, then click on any part of a window (title bar, content area, edges — anywhere) to drag it. Hold Alt and right-click drag to resize the window.

The problem it solves: Moving windows no longer requires precise clicking on the title bar — hold Alt and drag anywhere.

How Great Is It to Use?

Scenario 1: Drag Any Window Anywhere

Hold Alt, click anywhere on a window, drag. The window follows. Whether you click on an image, text, or blank space, it works.

Scenario 2: Quick Resizing

Hold Alt, right-click near the edge of a window, and drag to change its size. No more reaching for that tiny border.

Scenario 3: Window Transparency

Scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the current window’s transparency — handy for temporarily peeking at content behind it.
