Research direction

Start with the Grab and Move input-handling entry point and reproduce the interaction using PowerToys 0.99.1, WinGet, and StrokePlus.net. Trace how Win-plus-right-click is handled during resizing and compare the behavior with AltSnap. Done means resizing a window no longer triggers StrokePlus.net mouse gestures while Grab and Move remains enabled.
