Description:
You can’t resize a window because you can’t reach the handle at the bottom right hand corner of the window. The ability to resize a window with the keyboard in Mac OS X doesn’t exist.
Symptoms:
- You’ve gone and made your window way too big and now you can’t reach the bottom right hand corner to resize it.
- You’re monitor shrunk and now you can’t reach the bottom right hand corner to resize your window
Explanation:
Apple decided not to build in the functionality to resize a window with the keyboard in Mac OS X so someone else had to do it. Below you’ll find a clever little program that allows you to resize your window using just the keyboard.
Solution – Download, Install & Run Window Wrangler
- Go to Mind Flow’s website by clicking here
- Click Download
- Save the file to your desktop
- Mount the image and drag the Window Wrangler to your Applications folder
- Double click to launch the application
- Open the program that has the bloated window
- Use CTRL + ALT + Arrow keys to resize the active window
- That’s it. Thanks to the author for this cool piece of software. He accepts donations at the url above apparently.
There’s an easier way, just hold down your option key and click on the green button at the upper left hand corner.
option+greenbutton did it for me. thanks!
