@niels9001
any reason why it should not be draggable?
Beside the fact that it's currently not aware of its position so if you move it to the bottom of the screen the dropdown list is not visible, but that is a minor glitch that we can fix in the future.

@enricogio No not really, hence the question if it's a (unknown) feature or a bug :).

If it is a feature (which I'm all for) then we should update the UI to make it explicit that it's possible to drag it around, and expand the draggable region.

I think the latest UI elements in Windows 10(X) use the rectangle in the title bar to indicate that the window is draggable. Should be an easy add.

But where should we place it within the launcher ui? We don't have a title bat where we have space for that.

This is chances are legacy from Wox, i don't believe it should be draggable.

#4576 is an issue asking for it to be settable.

I did some research and found the code that implements this dragging behaviour.
MainWindow.xaml.cs
If it should not be draggable, we can just delete these lines and we're good to go.

Personal opinion: It would be kinda nice to have an option in PowerToys settings to change the position of the window.

@Zotyamester
thank you for looking into this.

Please don't remove the ability to drag it around. When I use it as a calculator I often need to be able to see information below and it makes life so much easier if you can change the position. Spotlight under macos works the same way.

Should it be configurable? Yes probably. But I also still miss the ability to save the last position (it's in the code but not in the settings gui)

lets dup this against #4576
