+### Description
+This patch allows you to configure window resizing more flexibly.
+It introduces three options with the following possible values:
+
+- warp_cursor:
+```
+   0 - the mouse cursor remains in its original position at the start of the resize.
+   1 - the cursor is automatically warped to the selected corner before resizing begins.
+```
+
+- lock_cursor:
+```
+   0 - the cursor can move freely during the resize.
+   1 - the cursor position is completely frozen for the entire duration of the resize.
+```
+
+- resize_corner:
+```
+   0: top-left
+   1: top-right
+   2: bottom-left
+   3: bottom-right
+   4: selects the corner based on the current mouse quadrant
+```
+
+### Demos
+All demos below use resize_corner = 4:

+### Known Issues (warp + lock)
+The combination of warp_cursor and lock_cursor is not recommended without outer gaps.
+If the selected resize corner aligns exactly with a screen corner, the cursor gets locked there and cannot be moved outward, so resizing only works inward.
+To resize outward, you must restart the resize operation with the cursor positioned somewhere away from the screen corner.
+This happens because the locked cursor cannot move past the screen edge, and therefore cannot generate a non-zero delta to resize outward.
+
+On multihead setups, if the resize corner is near another screen, the window may switch monitors upon completion of the resize.
