Until now, windows can be interactively moved or resized by grabbing the corresponding window handles as presented by the decorator. A convenient alternative would be the ability to click anywhere within a window while the wm-modifier key (i.e., Super) is held. A click nearby a window border initiates resizing whereas a click in the middle area initiates the moving of the window.

nitpicker: send pointer pos to global key handler
c770865 
To enable a global key handler to implement motion gestures while a
global key is held, it needs to know the current pointer position at the
time when the global key sequence starts. This is prerequisite for
the window layouter's ability to drag windows by clicking anywhere
within the window while holding a global key.

window_layouter: handle drag/drop as actions
26a7aeb 
This patch moves the formerly hard-wired drag-and-drop handling
to the configuration level by introducing the actions "drag" and "drop".

To aid the robust handling of release events matching their
corresponding press events, the patch refines the policy-matching of the
current combination of keys against the hierarchy of <press> and
<release> nodes. If no policy for a concrete combination exists, a
release event also considers the policy of its matching <press> node.
This way, the regular drag-and-drop rules can be expressed as

  <press key="BTN_LEFT" action="drag">
     <release key="BTN_LEFT" action="drop"/>
  </press>

This also works when releasing BTN_LEFT while pressing additional keys,
for which no policy exists.

With this change, the layouter supports the matching of multiple key
sequences instead of only one, thereby supporting multiple actions at
once and allowing for decoupling different user interactions in the
configuration.

window_layouter: free-arrange mode
ae321b4 
This patch adds the feature of moving and resizing windows by clicking
anywhere within a window while the global window-management key is held.
Depending on the position within the window, the click is interpreted as
click on the title (when clicking at inner 50% of the window, or as a
click on the border (when clicking at an area nearby the window
boundary).

This mode of interaction requires more flexibility of the handling of
key sequences. The formerly hard-wired handling of the drag and drop as
response to BTN_LEFT events does not suffice. Therefore, this patch
moves the driving of the drag-and-drop state to the config level by
introducing the actions "drag" and "drop"

Fixes genodelabs#5403
