Ok so if ctrl+alt+shift won't work then the only other reasonable key combination than I can think of would be either ctrl+alt+Windows key if you have a Windows key on your keyboard or Ctrl+alt+command if you have a command key on your keyboard. Of course if you have an older keyboard with no windows key then you would be left out in the cold which is why I originally suggested shift. If anyone can think of a good keyboard combination for resizing that would work for all keyboards i'd love to hear it.John Scipione <jscipione@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:When you press ctrl+alt the window edges get highlighted to show the resize edges but a LMB click does a move which I find confusing. What should happen is when you push ctrl+alt all 4 sides of the window should highlight. When you push the LMB down the mouse pointer should turn into a 4 direction arrow indicating a move.Sounds good.I also think that a RMB drag to resize is a little strange. I think a better solution would be to have another modifier key, I propose ctrl +alt+shift switch you into "resize mode" and then the current edge highlighting would be activated. The LMB then would be used to resize as the RMB does now.The only problem with shift is that a shift-move will take the window to the workspace when you switch during that move. So that combo is already kind of used. Other than that, I would agree that the highlight is more confusing than helping due to the right mouse button resizing. Bye, Axel.
