Is there any shortcuts to move/drag the window(box) on the screen when the window is not maximized without changing its dimension? Say I want to drag the vim/emacs editor window to the left side/middle/right side of my screen so it doesn't cover the cmd window.

With library frame-cmds.el you have commands to move the selected frame around. Bind them to repeatable keys (just hold the key pressed).

  • move-frame-left - suggested binding: M-<left>.
  • move-frame-right - suggested binding: M-<right>.
  • move-frame-up - suggested binding: M-<up>.
  • move-frame-down - suggested binding: <M-down>.

Option move-frame-wrap-within-display-flag non-nil means wrap frame movements within the display.

If you’re using vim/etc on a Windows machine, the windows key + a directional arrow should help. I’m not sure if the machine is running Linux or macOS as its primary OS.

  • This works, but it changes the shape of the editor window, I was wondering if there's a way to move editor window little by little, without changing the overall shape. But thanks! – ACuriousCat Mar 10 '19 at 19:22
