In Tracker, it indeed is CTRL + LMB = RMB (at least on the Desktop.
I didn't check elsewhere).
I still don't understand what your (John's) issue with LMB vs RMB is.
Currently it is very consistent (the only inconsistency with regards
to moving and resizing windows is the Title bar and the resize corner.
Though, I imagine that is mostly due to ensuring that users with only
a single mouse button can access both functionalities.)
I've another suggestion to improve CTRL+ALT, but need to work on the
wording a bit more before sending it.
