Error handling
Parameter Name | Description |

Variables produced
This action doesn't produce any variables.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables in the X and Y coordinate fields by inserting them with the {x} syntax. This allows you to dynamically position windows based on previously calculated or stored values. Variables must contain numeric values to be valid for coordinates.
Notes
The coordinates are measured in pixels from the top-left corner of the screen (0,0).
You can use the Ctrl+Alt shortcut to capture the current mouse position coordinates.
Ensure the window exists and is accessible before attempting to move it.
If the specified window cannot be found using the provided identification method, the command will result in an error.
Moving windows outside the visible screen area may make them inaccessible without keyboard shortcuts.
