How to move windows that open up offscreen?

Unfortunately, that now places them out of the viewable area of my screens! Is there some way to force a particular window into the viewable area?

Fix for: How to move windows that open up offscreen?
I use this approach: Use Alt+Tab to switch to the off-screen application.

Press one of the arrow keys to initiate the movement. Now just use the mouse to place the window where you want. If you are using a non-English version…
