Resizer2 – i3/KDE window movement on Windows

I was really frustrated when I needed to go back to windows after using KDE for a few years, and becoming used to the Meta+Mouse keybinds for resizing and moving windows around, so I made a script for it that lets me use those shortcuts on windows too, maybe someone here finds it useful too? I also really need help with a name for the project, resizer2 doesn't sound that cool and catchy :(

In plain words

Resizer2 is a Windows utility that replicates KDE's Meta+Mouse keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing windows. It allows users accustomed to Linux's KDE desktop environment to use familiar window management shortcuts on Windows. The tool is designed for developers and power users who switch between operating systems and want to maintain consistent workflows across platforms.

    Hello, I’ve just released version 3.0 of WindowKeys, a small utility for macOS that gives you full control over the native window tiling system introduced in macOS Sequoia.

Over time it evolved beyond just shortcuts, and now 3.0 adds a few frequently requested features: - Move windows between displays (or iPad) - Repeat last tiling action for each app - Redesigned Shortcut…
