Moving Frames

Drags of either Smart Key from a bottommost modeline can be configured to drag Emacs frames to new locations on screen. To configure all existing and future frames for such dragging, use:

(modify-all-frames-parameters '((drag-with-mode-line . t))).

To configure just the selected frame for such dragging, use:

(set-frame-parameter nil 'drag-with-mode-line t).

on each frame you would like to drag.

Then drag with either Smart Key from a bottommost modeline within a frame to move the frame on screen with live feedback, as if you were dragging from the titlebar. If you use a click-to-focus window manager, click on the desired frame first and then depress to drag.
