Window Snapping app that doesn't require "Enable Assistive Devices?"

[MWhiskerton]

Are there any applications that perform window snapping (such as Windows Aero Snap, Cinch or Moom) without requiring the user to "Enable Assistive Devices?"

BetterTouchTool can do window snapping. I cannot remember if I had to enable Assistive Devices or not, but I don't think I did...



Nope you need it

Can I ask why you don't want to enable it?

I don't think I had to do that with Moom either.

EDIT: Is there a specific reason why you wouldn't want to enable assistive devices?

The Moom trial does require you to enable it.

From what I've read online, it is disabled by default because enabling it presents a security risk. I don't know why OS X doesn't let you enable it only for specific applications--that would make more sense.

What kind of security risk? It's possible I already had it enabled when installed Moom.

I can't find the links for the information I read before, but it was my impression that the option is disabled by default because it prevents any 3rd party applications from being able to log keystrokes, do screenshots etc. I assume that window snapping programs have to register where you're moving the windows, or clicking on the screen, so it makes sense that the functionality would be required.
