Board index » Windows Vista » How to move a window with Speech Recognition?

Windows Vista35
I know how to switch between windows, maximize windows, minimize

windows or close windows. But how can I move a window? I said "Move

window" but it didn't work. Then I tried to walk around by dragging

the title bar, but I don't know how to drag either. The only things

listed in the documentation were left click or right click.



How to...

1) move a window?

2) drag?

When you say: "Move a window" the system must know where to. In essence if

must know the endpoint of the coordinates of the upper left corner of the

window. It is a pair of X and Y coordinates in screen pixels.



It seems you expect Vista to work like some characters in Wizard of Oz where

things happen by magic.

you click and hold down with the left mouse button the title bar of the

window that is not maximized and you drag your mouse to the new location,

then you release the mouse button



the title bar is the very top part of a window that has the "title" or name

of the window on it.



another trick is to right click on the taskbar button and select move, then

press one of the arrow keys of your keyboard, MAGICALLY you will see that

it has attached itself to your mouse cursor (even if the window is not on

your main screen) and you can place it anywhere you want.



Dont listen to AlexB that there is no Magic, he is just the Idiot troll in

here.

For example, when you move your mouse pointer with Speech Recogition,

you don't say

mouse click 100,200. You just say, "mouse click" (or mouse grid") and

then choose

the "end point" by continuously selecting regions. I kind of expected

the same thing since

moving windows is very common in Windows. That's why I tried to say

"move window" or "move".

Thank you for your answer. But I know how to move windows with mouse.

I wanted to know

how to move a window with Vista's built-in Speech Recognition. Since

"Maximize, Restore,

Minimize, Switch to.." work, I thought there would be a special

command for moving windows.

Thanks. So there is no special command for moving windows, right?
