Move an application "pop-up" (dialog box) with keyboard possible?

Question

Is there a way to move an application's pop up (dialog box) with a keyboard command/shortcut? I had a situation where I was not connected to my 2nd monitor and an application popup box was opening on that 2nd (*not connected*) monitor.
I hate to say this; but on a PeeCee, a user can move a window via the keyboard. Is this possible on a Mac? Thanks!

Answer 1

no, it's not possible on a mac. if the popup open on the other monitor connect the second monitor and move the popup with a mouse. it should open on the main monitor form now on.
If you don't have a second monitor at all do the following.
1) goto System Prefs - universal access - enable access for assistive devices.
Paste the following into Script Editor and press run. This will move all offscreen windows currently open on the second monitor to the main screen.

set winPos to position of window x
set _x to item 1 of winPos

set position of window x to {0, 22}
