I'm so happy! Apple brought command click for moving windows in Mac OS 10.4!! No you can move them with out moving them into for forground. I could cry. I didn't think they were going to reimpliment it from Mac Os 9. Just took about 5 years. 
Got a tip for us?

I'm pretty sure I tried it in Jaguar and it didn't work. But it's been a while. (I don't have Jaguar running on any machines anymore.) I thought the first post was going to be someone who told me it came back in 10.3.
Golly!! Thanks Pizzach.. I for one am very happy you told me this! I always swtich to MSN to drag the conversations so that i can see them! This helps me a lot!!
And to grapes911 - yes, the poll is a bit of harmless fun. leave pizzach alone!

Yeah i have 10.3 and it works.
I think this has "always" been there. I've used "every" Mac OS since 7.1 and I cannot remember this being added. Never used it much, though, I've never needed to move a window that's not in the forground already...
I was questioning the poll, because this is nothing new. Even though I don't use it, I can't remember this feature not existing.SpaceMagic said:
Hmm..interesting. I wonder why it didn't work way back when for me then. Might have been something odd like the mouse. All I remember was using it in 9 then noticing i couldn't get it to work in 10. Oh well. No harm no fowel. Just happy I noticed I could to it.

you hit the apple key n than click on a window and what?
You can move windows in the background without selecting them so that the focus remains on the original window, not the one you're moving.

If you apple key + click on a finder window / application you can drag it around and move it behind a currently active window / app, without losing focus on whatever you had in the foreground.
Edit: aw beat by a minute since I was sitting here playing around and dragging my background windows back and forth.. oohh, ahhh.. neat trick it is.

That's if you click on the name/title of the window.

Seems that anything can be made into a poll nowadays on MR.
Is it my imagination or are they more polls creeping up on MR.
How else will they be able to have a "Brand new poll every weekday..."maya said:Seems that anything can be made into a poll nowadays on MR.

I noticed a couple of polls last week. Or maybe my brain is just slow after the holidays.

We should have a poll to find out if people think there are too many polls
