I was wondering if it would be possible to add a keyboard shortcut to enable window resizing by pressing a button on the keyboard, then press the main mouse button on a window and finally move the mouse pointer?

It'd be similar to currently moving windows by pressing the ALT key and using the mouse, only this one would resize the window instead.

Resizing by using the window borders requires too much accuracy and doing it using alt+shift+arrow key takes to long time. Using a key or two on the keyboard and using the mouse at the same time would greatly improve the "comfort" for us who doesn't maximize each and every window.

What about using Alt+right mouse button? It does exactly what you describe...

Ah, sorry. I hadn't seen that key combination in the manual nor in the settings. Must have missed it. :/

Sorry for taking your time.
