Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Right now Drag&Move can't resize windows that can't be scaled properly, it would be nice if it could, and there are already tools that do this!
[AltSnap](https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap)
### Scenario when this would be used?
Resize windows that can't be resized by normal means (e.g. some games)
