<title>Move and resize windows</title>

<p>You can move and resize windows to help you work more efficiently.
In addition to the dragging behavior you might expect, GNOME features
shortcuts and modifiers to help you arrange windows quickly.</p>

<list>
<item><p>Move a window by dragging the titlebar, or hold down <key>Alt</key>
and drag anywhere in the window. Hold down <key>Shift</key> while moving to
snap the window to the edges of the screen and other windows.</p></item>

<item><p>Resize a window by dragging the edges or corner of the window.
Hold down <key>Shift</key> while resizing to snap the window to the edges
of the screen and other windows.</p>

<p if:test="platform:gnome-classic">You can also resize a maximized window by
clicking the maximize button in the titlebar.</p></item>

<item><p>Move or resize a window using only the keyboard. Press
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F7</key></keyseq> to move a window or
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F8</key></keyseq> to resize. Use the arrow keys
to move or resize, then press <key>Enter</key> to finish, or press
<key>Esc</key> to return to the original position and size.</p></item>
