What's new in AltDrag 1.1
Mar 14, 2018
- AltDrag has moved to GitHub.
- Fixed the shift key not being usable after dragging started (Windows 10).
- Fixed various minor bugs.
- The installer now defaults to installing to your %APPDATA% directory.
- This means it no longer automatically asks for administrator privileges.
- I recommend everyone to uninstall and then install from scratch.
- You can still install to C:Program Files if you right-click the installer and use Run as administrator.
New in AltDrag 1.0 (Sep 30, 2013)
- Add Lower scroll wheel action. Scroll down to lower windows, up to raise windows, shift+down to minimize windows, shift+up to toggle maximized state
- Old Lower actions will now also minimize the window if you hold shift
- Updated most of the translations
New in AltDrag 1.0 Beta 1 / 0.9 (Jan 31, 2012)
- Added configuration GUI
- Added ability to scroll through windows with the scrollwheel (like Alt+Tab!)
- Added ability to blacklist by process name (see wiki)
- Added new mouse action: Lower
- Added performance options MoveRate and ResizeRate. Increase if dragging or resizing is slow
- The scroll hook should no longer stop working when locking the screen or resuming the computer from sleep. A timer checks every 5 seconds if the scroll hook is still working, and re-enables it if it is not
- You can now press Escape to stop AltDrag. Useful if AltDrag gets in a weird state
- You can now press Ctrl to make AltDrag think the mouse cursor is still inside the current monitor. Should help people who have multiple monitors and want to snap at borders between monitors
- Removed info.txt. Use the website for help

- Added AutoStick, enable it to make windows always stick without needing to
