## What it is
AltDrag is a small Windows utility that lets you move and resize windows by holding the Alt key and dragging with the mouse, replicating behavior common on Linux. It is a lightweight, portable C application with a GPL-3.0 license.

## Use cases
- move windows by holding alt and dragging anywhere
- resize windows with alt plus right mouse button
- bring Linux-style alt-drag window behavior to Windows
- manage windows without clicking their title bar
- quickly snap and arrange windows on a cluttered desktop

## When to choose
- you want lightweight, portable window-dragging on Windows
- you miss alt-drag behavior from Linux window managers
- you want a small open-source utility without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you use DPI scaling, which is known to cause issues
- you need a full window manager with tiling or layouts
- you are on macOS or Linux, since it is Windows-only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: windows, developer-tools, desktop-applications
- platform: windows
- tags: window-management, alt-drag, mouse-utility, portable
