That’s a great addition, but it’s even better when some modifier keys are applied.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Mac OS X Lion Window Resizing Modifier Keys</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Click and Hold Shift </strong>- Resizes the window in the direction you are pulling, while maintaining the windows existing aspect ratio</li> <li><strong>Click and Hold Option</strong> – Resizes the window from the side you are dragging as well as the side directly opposite</li> <li><strong>Click and Hold Option+Shift</strong> – Combines both to resize the window in all directions while maintaining the aspect ratio, from the center of the window outward</li> </ul> <p>I had known about the first two, but the last combo was found on <a href="http://www.macgasm.net/2011/08/09/window-resizing-magic-lion/">MacGasm</a>, so head’s up to those guys for the tip.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LIFHMQpytMuWCyR0H-ESOhtjnMI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LIFHMQpytMuWCyR0H-ESOhtjnMI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LIFHMQpytMuWCyR0H-ESOhtjnMI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LIFHMQpytMuWCyR0H-ESOhtjnMI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XVf7Zp3H_Fw:5eEQ9HP554E:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/XVf7Zp3H_Fw" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
