24. Mouse-less and Facy-Free Windows Part 1
Are you one of those people who like to keep their hands on the keyboard--and off the mouse--as much as possible? (Or worse, got your mouse hand in a sling from a recent accident?) Then you'll be happy to hear that two seemingly mouse-dependent tasks--moving and sizing an open window--can be accomplished without touching the mouse.
Assuming the window you want to move is currently active, hold down the Alt key as you press the spacebar, then type the letter M. A four-pointed arrow appears on the title bar of the active window.
Depending on whether you want to move the window left, right, up or down, press and hold the corresponding arrow key until the window outline reaches the desired destination. (Tip: You can use two keys at once, to move a window diagonally.) Press Enter to "drop" the window, or press Esc to cancel the move.
