Is there similar for windows? I know there was 3rd party solutions with alt+ click

Interesting, but the latest release dates back to 2015!

Using it on Windows 11, works perfectly fine.

Not exactly the same, but Alt+Space, M (selecting Move from the system menu) also moves the mouse pointer to the title bar so that you can immediately use the mouse to drag from there (or alternatively move the window using the arrow keys, of course).

Slightly related, I always use Alt+Space, C to close windows, as I find that easier to press than Alt+F4.
