dsh-window-drag

dsh-window-drag

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that restores normal title-bar behavior in DSH Desktop on macOS: press and drag an empty title-bar area to move the window, and double-click it to zoom (fill the screen work area; double-click again to restore the previous bounds).

Why

Some DSH Desktop builds ignore -webkit-app-region: drag, so the shell's own [data-window-drag] regions never make the window draggable — the window can only be moved by the traffic lights or not at all. This plugin bypasses CSS drag regions entirely and moves the native window with window.moveBy() / window.moveTo() / window.resizeTo(), which Electron honors for the main window.

Behavior

• Drag zones: the top 48px title strip (the shell's --dsh-frame-top-clearance) across the full width, plus the sidebar header block (300×104px).
• DoubleClick: toggles macOS-style zoom using the screen work area.
• While zoomed: starting a drag shrinks the window to its previous size centered on the cursor (clamped to the screen boundaries) and continues the drag; double-click restores the previous bounds. (Renderer-driven window moves are clamped to the screen by Chromium, so a full-work-area window cannot slide as-is. The shell's native resize-border drag — grabbing the extreme window edge — is handled by the macOS window server instead and is not clamped: it can move the window off-screen or to another monitor while resizing. This plugin never intercepts those edge drags; its zones are the top strip and sidebar header only.)
• Boot rescue: if a previous session ended with the window fully outside the screen (possible via the native edge drag), the plugin brings it back to the screen work area at launch.
• Never captured: buttons, links, tabs, inputs, contenteditable, menus, dialogs, and any element tagged data-no-window-drag — clicks keep working.
• Disabled in fullscreen and entirely inert on Windows/Linux or in an ordinary browser tab (gated on the data-platform="darwin" attribute that only the Electron preload writes).

Install

From DSH Desktop, open Settings → Plugins (Plugin Manager) and install the bundle from:

github:angls4/dsh-window-drag

or clone and install the local directory:

git clone https://github.com/angls4/dsh-window-drag

Then install the dsh-window-drag/ directory through the Plugin Manager ("Install bundle…"). The plugin activates immediately; no restart is needed.

To uninstall, remove the bundle from the Plugin Manager.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness Desktop (developed against 0.2.1-rc.5)
• macOS; other platforms are unaffected

Development

This is a Cordis bundle: cordis.patch.yml inserts the window-drag row, index.js is an empty Host half, and client.js registers the Client module that attaches the pointer listeners. All listeners are removed when the plugin is disabled or uninstalled.
