Easy Move+Resize for Mac

Adds easy modifier key + mouse drag move and resize to OSX

Usage

Easy Move+Resize is based on behavior found in many X11/Linux window managers Cmd + Ctrl + Left Mouse anywhere inside a window, then drag to move. Cmd + Ctrl + Right Mouse anywhere inside a window, then drag to resize, The resize direction is determined by which region of the window is clicked. i.e. a right-click in roughly the top-left corner of a window will act as if you grabbed the top left corner, whereas a right-click in roughly the top-center of a window will act as if you grabbed the top of the window. To use the middle mouse button as the resize modifier, select the Middle Click resize menu item. The choice of modifier keys to hold down to activate dragging or resizing can be customized by toggling the appropriate modifier key name in the application icon menu. Click the menu item to toggle it. All keys toggled to selected must be held down for activation. Behavior can be disabled by toggling the Disabled item in the application icon menu. If you are dragging or resizing a window in the background and want it to rise to the top, select the Bring Window to Front menu item. To restore application settings, select the Reset to Defaults menu item. To disable for a particular app, select Disable for ... from the menu after using Easy Move+Resize on that app.
