About

AltDrag is an open-source utility for Windows that provides an alternative way to move application windows. It lets the user press the Alt key and drag a window to reposition it. The tool is centered on this keyboard-assisted window-dragging action.

The main feature is the ability to begin moving a window while holding Alt, rather than depending only on the standard window controls. This can be useful for Windows users who want a direct way to reposition windows during regular desktop work. AltDrag is intended for people seeking a focused utility for window movement.

AltDrag’s open-source license distinguishes it from software distributed only in closed form. The license information is relevant to users who consider how a Windows utility is made available and maintained. Its focused purpose places it within the category of small desktop utilities for the Windows platform.

MirrorNest distributes the official AltDrag build directly from its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This gives catalog users a download path for the Windows version while preserving the connection to the official build.

What's new in v1.1

  • AltDrag has moved to GitHub.
  • The installer now defaults to installing to your %APPDATA% directory.
  • This means it no longer automatically asks for administrator privileges.
  • I recommend everyone to uninstall and then install from scratch.
  • You can still install to C:\Program Files\ if you right-click the installer and use Run as administrator.
  • Fixed the shift key not being usable after dragging started (Windows 10).
  • Fixed various minor bugs.
