Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Clicking on Window toolbars requires a needless degree of precision when all you're trying to do is move a window (or resize with respect to the corner). In Linux you can use ALT+Left Mouse to move a Window so long as the cursor is anywhere within the window and use ALT+Right Mouse to resize a window if the cursor is within it. This is such a great productivity booster and I don't understand why it isn't a built-in feature of Windows already considering it's been in Linux for at least 20 years.

There's already a deprecated Windows program that does it, but a native and supported implementation would be much better.
