About Easy Move+Resize

Easy Move+Resize copies a habit from X11 window managers: hold Command and Control, then drag with the left mouse button anywhere in a window to move it, or with the right button to resize it from the nearest edge or corner. There is no need to aim for the title bar or a window border.

A menu bar icon lets you choose which modifier keys trigger it, switch resizing to the middle button, bring dragged windows to the front, pause the app, or turn it off for particular apps. It needs Accessibility permission to move other apps' windows. Current releases are signed and notarized.
