Click anywhere to move application windows on MacOS

MacOS
Do you want to move an application window, without having to first move the mouse to the titlebar, like in Linux?
Here’s what the feature looks like in action:
How to enable
It’s possible, and without 3rd party software! Just enter the following command to enable in a terminal:
defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true
After entering the above command, just log out and back in and it should be enabled!
To disable, enter the following command and log out:
defaults delete -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture
How to use
To move the window, hold Cmd + Ctrl while clicking anywhere in the window to move it around. Upon activation, you’ll see a small zoom animation showing that the feature is working.
