information   Information
This tutorial will show you how to move a Window/Program using your keyboard. It is especially useful when you cannot access the top of the window which allows you to drag it to a new location.


Method #1
NOTE: Method #1 won't work with a maximized Window.
  • Alt-Tab or Click On the Window
  • Press "Alt & Space"
  • Press "M"
  • Use your arrow keys to move the Window
  • Press Enter to exit
Method #2
NOTE: Method #2 will move your Window to the right or left half of the screen in the same manner as dragging a window to the right or left of the screen will.

  • Press the Windows Key & Right Arrow or Left Arrow

- Kudos to Brink for that tip.
  • Press the Windows Key & Shift & Right Arrow or Left Arrow
