How do I disable window move with alt + left mouse button in Xubuntu?
8,596
If you go to the Xfce menu and choose settings > settings manager > window manager tweaks > accessibility, you can select another key instead of alt to move the windows or choose none at all. This should be just what you want.
You can also use xfconf-query
to set easy_click
to none (or another key) on the command-line:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/easy_click -s none

Title pretty much explains it all. I tried viewing other questions with the same topic, but none of the solutions work.
I tried CCSM, and I de-ticked "Move Window", nothing happened. I tried using gconf-editor to change /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier, but still, it didn't work.
Is there any solution? I'm using Xubuntu, by the way.

Brandon over 11 yearsI don't care about other commands. I just want to stop <ALT> + click to stop moving/dragging windows.
-
web.learner over 11 yearsSo you want to be able to press <Alt> and move the mouse without effecting the windows?
-
Brandon over 11 yearsYes, that's exactly what I want.
