Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I drag with the modifier

• Check the permission. ClickFit needs Accessibility access. If it’s already on, switch it off and on again, then quit and reopen ClickFit.
• Check that ClickFit is on. Right-click the menu bar icon; ClickFit may be turned off.
• Check the modifier. The panel shows your trigger under Gestures → Mouse Gestures → Trigger. The default is ⌥ Option.
• Check Excluded Apps. Windows of excluded apps can’t be moved or resized.

A shortcut doesn’t do anything

• Another app may use the same combination. Record a different one under Window Actions — the recorder tells you if a combination is taken. See Keyboard Shortcuts.
• Layout and tab shortcuts need Pro. Check Settings → License.

A window doesn’t move or only moves partway

Some windows can’t be resized below their own minimum size, and some apps ignore outside requests to move certain windows — full-screen windows, system dialogs, and a few apps’ settings windows. ClickFit leaves those as they are.

The 3-finger swipe down doesn’t work

macOS uses that swipe for App Exposé. Turn App Exposé off, or switch it to four fingers, in System Settings → Trackpad → More Gestures. The panel shows the swipe as inactive while macOS has it.

My modifier + click does something in another app

Pick a different trigger under Gestures → Mouse Gestures → Trigger, or add that app to Excluded Apps.

Windows don’t fit where they should after rotating a display

ClickFit adapts when you rotate or rearrange displays while it’s running. If a window still lands in the wrong place, tile it again once and ClickFit will use the new screen size from then on.

A workspace restored some windows in the wrong place

Some apps take a moment to open their windows, and ClickFit can only place a window once it exists. Restore the workspace again once the apps have launched. If your displays have changed since you saved it, see When your displays change.

Still stuck?

Contact support and include your macOS version, ClickFit version (in Settings), and the app whose windows misbehave.
