yes, if you happen to use KDE, alt+right click (and hold the
mouse button pressed down) drags the windows size. The direction
of which (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) depends on the
current position of your mouse cursor when you click.

alt+left click (and hold the button down) drags the window's
position on your desktop, keeping the size.
