Top right seems to always have space.

You can also drag any window from any side by dragging perpendicular to the resize direction. It’s still small but I never heard anyone complain about precision there.

And then there’s window manager if you’re a power user.

I also think you can move any window with three finger via system settings.

Top right isn't always visible when trying to click a window to bring it forward

Interesting, I hadn't seen that before. It's still a small space and annoying to grab, but it's better than now knowing about it.

Not sure what you mean here.

I use a mouse and full keyboard. I've never been able to interact with the mac well without them.

I mean automatic tools to move windows. I use BetterTouchTool with a lot of custom gestures to handle my windows. With this I mean for example swiping with 5 fingers to the left moves and resizes the window to take up 25% of the screen on the left side. And so on so forth. I rarely drag my windows around anymore, it's second nature at this point.

With BetterTouchTool (I just tried this) I can set e.g. fn+mouse click to toggle a move state on a window. So the window you tapped (anywhere within) will now follow your mouse until you click again.

It can also simply teleport your window to wherever you fn+clicked.

There are unlimited options within this app by itself.


I'll check it out, thanks. Though I still think just leaving the title bar alone would be a simpler solution. Plus, it means you can see the title, which is nice.
