How to change the shortcut to move windows from Alt to Super/Meta?
I use graphics software like GIMP, Inkscape & Blender extensively for my business. But most of them require the use of the Alt key in some way or the other. Come Ubuntu 11.10, I haven't been able to find any way to change the shortcut for window moving/resizing from Alt+LMB/MMB to Super/Meta+LLM/MMB. This option was present in the 'Windows' settings in Gnome2, but it is not present anywhere in Gnome3. And yes, I have tried searching through the Shortcuts tab in Keyboard settings, its not there.
-
Install compizconfig-settings-manager
.
-
Open CompizConfig Settings Manager and navigate to the Resize Window plugin.
-
Click the <Super>Button2 button and rebind the shortcut.
Well, at least for Blender, you don't really need to go all this trouble.
Go to File > User Preferences > Input
In the search field type edge
Voila.
To cut this short story shorter the shortcuts on Blender are
- Ctrl+Alt+Select Mouse and
- Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Select Mouse respectively.
