Moving window with mouse and hotkey in MacOS [closed]

Question

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:

1. you click on a window while holding command
2. do not leave the mouse button, move mouse
3. 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.
