    I absolutely love this shortcut, and have been using it for a little bit. Now I just wish there was one that would let me enter “resize” mode. The idea being that you hold a key down, and when you drag the window it’ll resize from corner your cursor is closest to.

      Some environments use super+rmb to do that. If yours doesn’t, maybe see if it can be set as an option.

        Ah! It appears while that isn’t a default shortcut in GNOME, you can kinda get that by setting the Resize Window shortcut under Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Window menu.

        It’s a bit wonky if you want to resize it diagonally, as it moves the cursor to the center of the window, and then whichever is the first direction you drag the mouse is the edge it snaps to in order to start resizing. Works perfect for top/right/bottom/left, but if you try it diagonally then often it gets one of the other directions instead.

        I will however have to remember that shortcut for when I’m on other DEs!

          Try can enable resizing with Meta and Right Click in Gnome Tweaks, it doesn’t cause to move cursor to the center of the window

            Oh my god! Thank you!

            I don’t know how I’ve never seen this setting in Tweaks before, I thought I had looked over them all… That does exactly what I’m looking for!
