Well, my point was turning it into a mouse-only operation so using an
operator would make it kind of moot. But I see how it would clash with
alt-middle to resize.

Possible solutions to that problem would be:

- keep alt-middle-drag to resize, and use a different combination to
middle-drag.
- keep alt-middle-drag to resize, and only middle-drag from the titlebar.
- use alt-middle-drag to middle-drag from anywhere in the window, and use a
different combination to resize.

Personally, I think the third option is the most coherent. Why? Because it
would mean that the Alt operator would enable titlebar operations on the
whole window:

- Alt + drag window = drag titlebar.
- Alt + middle-drag window = middle-drag titlebar.
- Alt + right-click window = right-clicl titlebar.
- Alt + right-drag window = right-drag titlebar.

However, currently:

- Alt + middle-drag window ≠ middle-drag window.
