Alt-RightMouse no longer resizes?[SOLVED]

#1 Post by Richard »

Could have been something I did:
* Alt-RightMouse no longer resizes?
* Alt-LeftMouse doesn't move windows either?
(Corrected orientation, thanks Fehlix)

Prior to this, as I remember,
I stopped, or thought I did, Compton.
Started Xfce4 Compositing.
I did change the Thunar Custom Actions file --Could be, I'll check on that.

That's when I began to notice that Alt-RightMouse would not resize,
but instead just bring up Thunar right click menu.

Curious to know if anyone else has experienced this, or only me?
It's just sort of unusual.

The default for (default) right-handed settings are:
ALt - Left mouse to move a window
ALt - Right mouse to resize a window

Ok, you are correct.
Since it isn't working for me
I guessed wrong. :)

Do these key comb. work for you?

Yes, set/check in Windows Manager Tweak -> Accessibility : Key used to grab and move window: Alt - is default

Thanks.
I must have touched the wrong button
yesterday while unsetting the external monitor.
That explains a lot other things.

Found it.
Actually, it was even dumber. :(

I use the us_altgr international keyboard.
While looking around in MX Tweaks,
I thought it would be handy to have both Alt keys functional.
That's what changed the Alt-Right and Alt-Left key functionality. :bagoverhead:

BTW, there are quite a few new tweaks in MXT. Thanks.
