A maintained fork of AltDrag that lets you move and resize Windows windows by holding Alt and clicking anywhere on them.
AltSnap is a maintained fork of AltDrag, a lightweight Windows utility that enables moving and resizing windows by holding the Alt key and clicking anywhere on the window, eliminating the need for precise cursor placement. It brings this Linux-like window management behavior to Windows with improved stability and security, supporting versions from Windows NT 4 to Windows 11.
Windows users across all versions (NT 4 to 11) who want efficient, keyboard-driven window management without relying on title bars or edges. It's particularly useful for users familiar with Linux window management or those seeking to reduce repetitive mouse movements.
Developers choose AltSnap over the original AltDrag for its enhanced security (removes DLL injection), simplified codebase, and numerous bug fixes. It offers a more stable and feature-rich experience with additional options like transparent window dragging, process pausing, and fine-grained blacklists.
