windowmove

Windows application for moving windows by moving mouse while holding capslock key.

Building using Visual Studio 2022.

• You can download commity edition for free from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

• Run Visual Studio, choose Open a project or Solution

• Browse to WindowMove.sln, open it

• Build menu / Build Solution

Building using Clang

• Install Clang. You can download clang for windows from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-17.0.1/LLVM-17.0.1-win64.exe

• When you try to run executables downloaded for internet, Windows may prompt you that it is not safe. Click on More info, run anyway

• Choose "Add LLVM to the system path for all users"

• Open command prompt, navigate to directory with WindowMove.sln and main.cpp in it

• Run clang++ main.cpp -DUNICODE -luser32.lib -lgdi32 -WindowMove.exe

Building using G++

I have not tested this myself. Good luck.

• Install GCC

• Run g++ main.cpp -DUNICODE -luser32.lib -lgdi32 -WindowMove.exe

Starting WindowMove.exe when you log in to Windows

• Open Windows file explorer

• Type location %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

• Right-mouse-drag WindowMove.exe to Startup folder and choose Create shortcut here. Copying or moving the executable there might also work.

Limitations

• When WindowMove is run as a normal user, it is not able to move windows that are run as Administrator. You can run WindowMove as Administrator to work around this issue.
