ddccontrol VS AltSnap

Why do they not allow doing the same for external monitors using DDC? There are several apps that do just that.

Try ddccontrol on Linux or https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html on Windows.

ddccontrol and gddcontrol works well

If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

i have always hated having to fiddle with the buttons on the back of my monitor to change things such as the brightness but now i have finally found a better way https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol

Before I look into automating it, I wanted to get it working first. For this, I have a tool called ddccontrol (https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol). But this needs root privileges. So I'm just wondering if there are other ways, since I couldn't find any.

The only solution I've found for addressing this in any meaningful way is AltSnap[0], which lets me avoid needing to find window borders for any resizing or moving operations.

AltSnap is an opensource fork of the original AltDrag program which is no longer maintained

I run Sway and use Remmina to remote to my Windows 10 machine at work. On my Windows 10 PC I have AltSnap installed so I can use ALT+left mouse to move the windows and ALT+right mouse to resize them.

In order to resize the browser window and move it - I use AltSnap ( https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap )

There is an updated version called altsnap. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap/releases

This isn't a default feature on Windows even with PowerToys. You'd need something like AltSnap to get this working.

Pretty much only possible with 3rd party tools. https://windhawk.net/mods/slick-window-arrangement https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

For resizing you can try AltSnap (available through Scoop as well) - it mimics what's available by default in Gnome and some other DEs on GNU/Linux and it's pretty useful once you get used to it - you basically hold down a key while left/right clicking the mouse to move/resize a window that you point over (and all the precision you need is to point at one of the four quarters of the window).

I know that AltSnap has a feature to make a window borderless, Hold ALT and middle click and click toggle borderless.
