After moving from linux to Mac at work, I'm trying to mimic window movement and resize using mod key + LMB/RMB using instructions here. I'm using control (^) mod key for this. For movement it works perfectly (^LMB), but I'm not able to make resize work using ^RMB. It does nothing. In all discussions I found here, only LMB was used in examples. When I tried to use for example ctrl+shift LMB, resize worked fine. Is there some problem using RMB? Is it some bug or feature?
I'm having the same exact issue - modifier + RIGHT button doesn't work to resize windows, but modifier + LEFT button does. This was one of the main reasons I was looking at buying BTT, hoping there's a way to get this to work...
Sorry for late reaction. I have tried this out today and now it works. Thanks a lot!
Would be nice if BetterTouchTool resizes the active window from a corner based om the window quadrant the mouse is in.
unfortunately the macOS apis don't really allow that ;-(
Checkout Swift Shift
It can be done like this, but it's really laggy/stuttery for lots of windows (some work okish) because it always needs to move & resize the window. On macOS Tahoe this is completely unusable on previous macOS versions it still feels really bad.
(Basically when resizing e.g. from the top left, it will need to first move the window down&right by amount x, then resize by amount x and unfortunately none of this can be animated). I once posted a better workaround example preset here, which would move the mouse to the corresponding corner of the window and actually do a mouse drag, however this is also kind of error prone and would need various special case handlings. Maybe I will implement that at some point.
