  <title>Move and resize windows</title>

  <p>You can move and resize windows by dragging them. The system also
  provides the following shortcuts and modifiers to help you efficiently
  arrange windows:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Move a window by dragging the titlebar, or hold down
      <key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> and drag anywhere in the
      window. Hold down <key>Shift</key> while moving to snap the window to the
      edges of the screen and other windows.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Resize a window by dragging the edges or the corners of the window. Hold
      down <key>Shift</key> while resizing to snap the window to the edges
      of the screen and other windows.</p>
      <p if:test="platform:gnome-classic">You can also resize a maximized
      window by clicking the maximize button in the titlebar.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p><link xref="shell-windows-maximize">Maximize a window</link> by
      dragging it to the top of the screen. Drag a window to one side of the
      screen to snap it to that side, allowing you
      to <link xref="shell-windows-tiled">tile windows side by side</link>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Move or resize a window using only the keyboard by pressing
      <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F7</key></keyseq> to move or
      <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F8</key></keyseq> to resize. Use the arrow
      keys to move or resize the window, then press <key>Enter</key> to confirm or
      <key>Esc</key> to return to the original position and size.</p>
    </item>
  </list>
  
  <note style="tip">
    <p>In most applications (specifically, <app>GTK3</app> and <app>GTK4</app>), you can move
    a window by clicking and dragging anywhere in the application's header bar, including
    buttons and icons.</p>
