Is there a way to move window with a mouse after clicking on window (any zone) holding some key like command / control / alt in MacOS X Lion?
So the process is like:
you click on a window while holding command
do not leave the mouse button, move mouse
with mouse selected window is moving
I had this option in Linux and that was very useful.
Thanks.
Coming from someone who also got very used to this functionality under Linux, I also spent some time looking for a tool to do this after getting a Mac. I don't believe that this is possible out of the box.
I use a product named Hyperdock (9.95 USD) to facilitate this. In addition to some other functionality that I don't use (window previews, iTunes extensions, etc), it includes options for moving and resizing windows with left mouse button + hotkey. It's not free, but it's the only tool I've been able to find that provides this functionality.

Normally to drag I
Click on item to drag
Hold down with one finger
Then do dragging motion with another finger
Now when I click on an item a popup shows up showing a window into the content of the file. So now I cannot move a file from one folder to another. Does anyone know the fix for this issue?
If I enable three-finger dragging then it takes away my ability to use three-fingers to slide between screens.
Sounds like you've got a Mac with a force-sensitive trackpad and you're pushing hard enough to trigger Quick Look. Don't push as hard to get a regular click; you can disable "Force Click and haptic feedback" in Trackpad System Preferences.

I cant figure out why, but my vim74 on Windows 8 wont maximize. In fact it is very limited to a certain size.
This is the max size and I don't know how to make it bigger.
Also when I input a command (e.g. :q) character that I didn't input comes up
like :<-[1 q when I do :q
Thank you in advance
Based on the screenshot (and missing menus), it looks like you're using Vim in the Windows console (cmd.exe), which cannot be maximized in the usual way. You have the following options:
Use GVIM; it offers more (visual) features, and the biggest disadvantage, more clumsy shell integration, isn't that important on Windows, anyway.
Use the Windows console menu (right mouse button on the top-left icon > Defaults > /Layout\ > Windows Size) to resize it.
Inside Vim, you can influence the size via
:set lines=40 columns=120
and the console will resize accordingly.

I bought a dell laptop which comes without o/s, so I buy Windows 8.1 DVD and install in the new machine.
The problem is, every time when I am doing something, Windows popup a Black bar on the right hand side showing some basic buttons (Search, Share, Start, Devices, Settings), a small popup also appear on the bottom right showing current time, Wifi signal and battery life.
I pops 10-15 times within an hour. Its really frustrating when I am typing something or filling some password etc and atonce my focus from the current screen removes and I see that annoying black menu.
I even don't know this menu name.
Can an expert help me removing this menu.
Thanks in advance
That menu is called the Charms bar, and appears when you move the mouse to the top or bottom right corners and keep it there for a few seconds.

I have about 20 textedit documents open and don't like seeing them in the dock. Is there a way to stack them so that they take up only one space on the dock? Or not show them at all?
In System Preferences > Dock, check "Minimize windows into application icon". Note that this doesn't affect any existing minimized windows, but it will affect windows you minimize from that point forward.
You can use any of several mechanisms to restore the windows:
the Dock menu
the application's Window menu
application Exposé / “Application windows” in Mission Control, which you can also trigger from the Command-Tab application switcher with the up/down arrow keys
or any of several third-party apps/tools that help you with window management (e.g. Witch).
To not show them at all, just hide TextEdit entirely; you can do this with Command-H or by Option-clicking on another application's window (this includes the Desktop, which is technically a Finder window).
You might also consider using a text editor that supports placing documents in tabs, or something equivalent; while I'm a big fan of traditional Mac style window management, once you get up to 20 windows in an app, you're really in trouble :-)

I would have expected this to be a very simple task: switching between windows of the same application, but I can't seem to find the shortcut to do it. I generally have several windows of applications like Chrome (each window holding all the tabs related to a particular topic).
The behaviour I am looking for is what is implemented in Mac OSX with the Cmd+~ keyboard shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve the same on Windows 7?
There is no such a keyboard shortcut but holding Ctrl + clicking on the icon in the taskbar repeatedly will cycle through that program's open windows.
See https://superuser.com/questions/435602/shortcut-in-windows-7-to-switch-between-same-applications-windows-like-cmd.
Scott's answer is the closest one I've found to doing this. To summarize what he said:
Win + n where n is the number position of the application in the TaskBar.
Then to cycle through, keep Win down and press n again.
(Updated thanks to #ZYinMD's comments - but also see their 1st comment)
Use AltEsc for fast switching without any GUI pop up

Maybe related: If you want that the windows open directly when click on the stacked taskbar symbol (instead of opening the list), you can add the DWORD "LastActiveClick" to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
and set it to 1.
