window resizing margins - make it easier to grab borders for resizing?

Configuration Help & General Discussion
1

I see BTT has plenty of features regrading windows management - snapping, tiling etc.
I was wondering (since I'm 90% sure it exists in btt) how to make it easier to grab the edge of a window for manual resizing with the cursor ?.

currently in macOS I find it insanely slim margin which is so frustrating for such a widely relevant action which happens often for me. I don’t want to adapt to some keyboard approach for resizing or rely on a specific grid , my work is more dynamic than that… I just want to easily grab the edges of windows to resize.

please let me know if there’s a way with BTT or any other solution you guys might’ve came across

I have the following triggers under "Normal mouse", but I'm actually using the Macbook touchpad - I think it was something related with the "Leftclick" and because of this it needs to be under "Normal mouse"

Just copy-paste these 2 triggers under "Normal mouse" which will allow resizing no matter where your cursor is (well it should be on the window you would like to resize).
To trigger it hold shift + opt + leftclick and start resizing. You can use only 1 modifier, just configure it here:
