All you have to do is move the cursor to the toolbar and gently tap the trackpad with three fingers, and you\u2019ll \u201cgrab\u201d the window. Then, move all three fingers to move the window. Once the window reaches the desired place, simply lift one finger from the trackpad, and you\u2019ll release the window. Use this method as often as you like.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, you can enable the \u201ctap-to-click\u201d feature on your Mac to save yourself from force-clicking on the trackpad.
