Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
moveorplace	See placemouse	Super+left click

The moveorplace proxy function, credit to jzbor [ref], is a simple mechanism that:

• uses the movemouse function when the client is floating and
• uses the placemouse function when the client is tiled

The default keybinding to trigger this feature is Super+left click on a client window.

The argument passed to the moveorplace function is passed on to the function called. As the movemouse function does not take arguments into account the only arguments that apply are those of the placemouse function.

Cons:

• it sacrifices the movemouse feature of forcing a tiled client to become floating

Pros:

• you only need one keybinding to have access to both features which
• makes for a much more intuitive interaction with windows using the mouse

There are no external commands for this function.
