    I just mentioned the easiest way to open that menu,

    Your way requires me to move my hand off the keyboard 😛

    Your complaint would be valid if KSP didn't make extensive use of mouse anyway.

    WTF, you're actually re-railing a topic here?

    Yes, I am re-railing a topic. Pray I don't re-rail it any further.

    So, you did not click the program's icon on its tite bar, select the move option and move the window with the arrow keys until you could reach the apply button?

    @Arantor said:

    What about if you select a window, press Alt-space, select Move from the menu by pressing M and then move the window with the arrow keys and press enter to accept the new position?

    These were the first things I tried, but it doesn't work in KSP. I suppose TRWTF is when games disable stock window functionality.



  • This post, but if it only use it all of those are the worst" poll to friends have.



  • Wow, look who showed up.

    I had to learn this trick when a program I used frequently got a little too good at remembering window positions. I was using a laptop as my primary work computer, and at my desk had two extra monitors--but I also taught courses and gave off-site presentations regularly, and when hooking up to an unfamiliar projector, the default screen arrangements would often differ from my home base setup. The result was that sometimes when a connected projector was to the left of my laptop's screen, the program would open its dialog windows at the coordinates on the monitor to the right of my laptop--which of course was completely outside the visible area of both laptop and projector. For some reason, these dialog windows did not acknowledge the standard Windows key commands for moving and resizing windows. With nothing to click on, and none of my usual keyboard shortcuts working, I had to do some research to get it sorted.

    Fortunately, the first time this happened to me was when I got back to my desk after a presentation, so I wasn't stuck in front of a crowd of clients trying to figure out how to access my hidden dialog windows. It did happen in front of clients a few times after that, but knowing the keyboard shortcuts meant I could fix the problem before anyone in the audience even noticed.
