In another well-known OS, the pointer can be somewhere inside the corner, and you can press a meta key and click and drag the corner without being on it exactly.

I used to miss that functionality quite a bit when using Windows, but I think I use window snapping more now.

I loved that too! I use AltDrag[0] to get that functionality in Windows. It's a bit old and you may have to tweak it a bit to make it work with HiDPI, but it's now become a must-install when I set up a new machine.

AltDrag is amazing. Plus it's becoming a necessity because the window bar is now getting filled with elements too, so you can't rely on being able to use it to drag windows around by clicking and holding on any spot in the bar.

there's a new fork that is supposedly more up to date. (i dont use windows anymore though so i hasn't used it myself)
