alt short cut prevent linux user to play windowed

Post by albator »

When clicking on alt, the windows moves and that mean I basically cannot use it.

I have been trying to disable the short cut but I could not find a way since it is not listed (mint 17 cinnamon)

Anyone knows ?

play fullscreen or use /grabinput. not sure how to configure the windowmanager that it doesn't use alt any more in this case.

Start spring windowed and right click title menu.
And no there is no standardized api for shortcuts under x11, so Spring can't disable WM shortcuts itself.

Go into System Settings, then Windows.

Change "Modifier to use for modified window click actions" to whatever you desire.

Took me about a half hour to find out all those commands and Compiz settings were useless.

I'm not sure if this will work, however it seems to be a common complaint based on a google search so you can probably find better results.

on ubuntu 12.04-14.04:

$sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
$dconf-editor

then navigate to: org -> gnome -> desktop -> vm -> preferences and change mouse-button-modifier to eg. <Super>
