How To Move A Window Using Your Keyboard

By Terry Hollett / 07/04/2019 / 3 Comments / How-To, Microsoft Windows

I open up a program sometimes and it’s off-screen to the point I can’t grab the top bar to drag the window elsewhere. So, to move the window, just use the Alt-key and the Space bar on your keyboard . A small menu will open and using the mouse or keyboard choose Move. Then use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window either up, down, left or right.
