#KDETip: Resize Window with a Mouse + Key Combo

You probably already know that you can move a window around by holding the [Alt] key, left-clicking on the window and dragging.

You can also resize a window in a similar way: Move the cursor to somewhere near the center-top of a window.Hold down the [Alt] key, click the right mouse button and drag. Drag the top border of the window up and down. The same applies to each corner and side.💡

Note: From Plasma 5.20, instead of [Alt] use [Meta] (Windows key).
