There are some shortcuts that might help to mitigate those windows problems...
1- (Window menu): With the window activated, press *Alt + Space bar* Once you get here, you might be able to see some options, one of them is* move*. Use arrow keys to get where you need. When selecting *move*, you can move the window to desired position, then press *Enter *to end this function... 2- (Move): After opening window menu, you can access *move* function directly by pressing *Space bar + M* 3- (Resize): After opening windows menu, you can access* resize* function pressing *Space bar + S* After this, left click (and hold) with mouse and move cursor to desired size... Hope that helps... 2014-05-16 14:37 GMT-03:00 Aere Greenway <[email protected]>: > On 05/16/2014 11:12 AM, Ali Linx wrote: > >> Not really. This is true ONLY if that window allows you to do that.
