I use the ALT+Left Click to move windows all the time, especially they they get pushed off the screen in such a way that I can't see the title bar, or when I have a second screen that I can't see at all, but I know there is a windows over there, then I can alt+click drag the window over without actually laying eyes on it, but for some reason I can never remember to use ALT+Right Click to resize them. Perhaps I just need to go out of my way to only resize windows for a day until it's burned into my brain.

Great tip/reminder...

A pretty common window manager shortcut seems to be alt+right click to resize (along with alt+left to move). I seem to remember this being the default with kwin, flux/openbox, fvwm etc.

    This is a persistent frustration of mine, trying to resize a
    window takes some skill and simply infuriates me at times.  Sadly
    I couldn't find an equivalent in kde4, I saw this post and thought
    to go looking again...  Looked around Window Behavior, Workspace
    Behavior, and a several others - did you find it?

    As my arse gets older, grabbing those damn 1x1px borders to resize
    is becoming tedious in kde4.  Who the hell thought that was a good
    idea.

        Thanks Brian and Steve.

        This will help, but I wish the grab size could
        be increased without increasing the border size.

        -----------------

            If your running KDE, go to System settings -> Application
            Style ->
            Window Decorations.
            Down at the bottom is "Border Size".  Adjust appropriately
            for your
            needs.
