[Geek]

<p>Want to shuffle around some windows in the background without bringing them into the foreground? <strong>Hold down the Command key, and then click on a windows titlebar</strong>, the window can now be moved and dragged around in the background without bringing it to the foreground. This should work in all versions of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-os-x/">Mac OS X</a>.</p>

<p>This is a great little trick to clear the view for other apps or the desktop. Try it out yourself or see the brief video below for a demonstration of how it works.</p>
