How to move windows that open up offscreen?

For Windows 7 and later users: Windows Key+Shift+ or will move the selected window to the monitor in that direction.


I use this approach:

  • Use Alt+Tab to switch to the off-screen application.
  • Press Alt+SPACE to bring up the system menu (you won't see it because it is off screen)
  • Press R to select the "Restore" menu choice to ensure the windows isn't maximized (you cannot move it if it is maximized)
  • Press Alt+SPACE again, then M to select the "Move" menu choice.
  • Press one of the arrow keys to initiate the movement.
  • Now just use the mouse to place the window where you want.

If you are using a non-English version of Windows, the "R" and "M" menu choices will probably be different.
