# Mouse Interactions
Jay supports a range of mouse-driven interactions for managing windows,
workspaces, and layout. This page is a comprehensive reference for all of them.
## Tiling
**Resizing tiles.** Drag the separator between two tiles to resize them. The
cursor changes to a resize indicator when hovering over a separator.
**Moving tiles.** Drag a tile's title bar to move it within or between
containers. While dragging:
- Drop it onto another position in a container to rearrange tiles.
- Drop it onto a workspace tab in the bar to move it to that workspace.
- Drop it onto the bar outside any workspace tab to create a new workspace
for it.
**Double-click a tile's title** to toggle it between tiled and floating. See
[Floating Windows](floating.md) for details.
**Right-click any title** in a container to toggle mono mode (showing one window
at a time vs. all side by side). See [Tiling -- Mono Mode](tiling.md#mono-mode).
**Scroll over a title** in mono mode to cycle between the tiles in that
container.
## Floating Windows
**Drag a floating window's title** to move it. When dropped on a different
output, the window moves to that output's [overlay](overlays.md) if one is
visible, or to its normal workspace otherwise.
**Drag a floating window's border** to resize it.
**Double-click a floating window's title** to toggle it back to tiled.
**Right-click a floating window's title** to pin or unpin it. Pinned floating
windows stay visible across workspace switches.
**Click the pin icon** (if visible) to pin or unpin the window. The pin icon
can be enabled with:
```toml
[float]
show-pin-icon = true
```
## Workspaces
**Scroll over the bar** to switch between workspaces on that output.
**Drag workspace titles** in the bar to reorder them. This only works in manual
display order mode (the default). See
[Workspaces -- Display Order](workspaces.md#workspace-display-order).
**Middle-click an [overlay](overlays.md) tab** in the bar to hide it.
## Window Management Mode
Window management mode enables additional mouse interactions that do not require
targeting specific UI elements. Configure it by setting `window-management-key`
to a keysym:
```toml
window-management-key = "Alt_L"
```
**Hold the configured key** to enter window management mode. While held:
- **Left-drag** anywhere on a floating window, tile, popup, or fullscreen window
to **move** it.
- **Right-drag** anywhere on a floating window, tile, or popup to **resize** it.
This is especially useful for:
- Moving or resizing floating windows without needing to precisely target the
title bar or border.
- Moving tiled windows without targeting the title bar.
- Moving fullscreen windows (not possible without this mode).
- Resizing tiles without targeting the separator.
> [!NOTE]
> Entering window management mode disables all pointer constraints. This means
> you can use it to move the pointer out of applications that have grabbed it
> (such as games in fullscreen), but pointer-dependent applications will behave
> differently while the key is held.
## Other
**Toplevel selection.** Some actions (like screen sharing) ask you to select a
window, indicated by a purple overlay. During this selection, right-click a
tile's title to select the entire container instead of an individual tile.
**Canceling interactions.** Press `Escape` to cancel any in-progress mouse
interaction (dragging, resizing, selection, etc.). The cancel key can be changed
with the `pointer-revert-key` configuration:
```toml
# Use a different key to cancel mouse interactions
pointer-revert-key = "grave"
# Disable the cancel key entirely
pointer-revert-key = "NoSymbol"
```
The default is `Escape`.
