Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to grab a window from the upper panel in the Gnome's way, since many times (just like it happens with Dolphin) the upper panel cover the la the top of the window and for that I'm unable to grab or move the window from there, and I know that this happens with the intention of integrate the panel with Window Title and Window Buttons plasmoids, and it looks awesome, but I would like to be able to grab the windows from there and move them around if it's possible.

It worked that way with Latte Docks.

Unfortunately, that's one of the features that died with it.

Try holding down the Super key, then click (anywhere) on the window to move it.

Bonus tip: hold down Super, and right-click on the window to resize it.

wow that's pretty neat trick!

Would be nice to have a list of hidden super-useful tricks like that. And the Raising Elephants (REISUB) trick.

It works, but I wish there were some kind kWin script to recover that Latte-dock behavior.
