How to drag windows on Openbox without title bar

mouseopenboxwindow-management

I removed the title bar from Openbox by modifying the /openbox/rc.xml. I know that I can use keybindings to minimize, maximize, close, etc. But, how can I drag the windows with the mouse like I did before?

According to this Ubuntu forums post, add the following to your rc.xml file:

Re: window dragging in openbox

I think you would want to change (or add) a mousebind entry to the Mouse section of rc.xml with a different binding. Mine currently says this:
<mousebind button="A-Left" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>

Then you can move windows by dragging them while pressing Alt. To use the Super-drag instead use button="W-Left"

How to make a keybind involving xdotool in Openbox

You should try and wait until the mousemove has completed, sometimes things get out of sync if your system is slow. You can put in a delay ( with sleep or xdotool's own --delay. That always delays and slows down things. You should therefore first try:

xdotool mousemove --sync 1000 5 click 3

As --sync doesn't wait if nothing needs to be done. If that doesn't help you can alwasy put in an extra delay with sleep:

xdotool mousemove --sync 1000 5
sleep 0.2
xdotool click 3
