[RESOLVED] Does fluxbox support Alt+Mouse to move/resize

[fuzion]

I'm using Fluxbox 1.1.1.

I just recently started to use Fluxbox again. I remember being able to use Alt+Left_Click to move windows, and Alt+Right_Click to resize windows regardless of where the mouse is in the window. This was the default behaviour.

I saw some people saying that they wanted ways to disable that feature because it interfered with certain program features, i.e. Gimp. Has the feature been disabled completely?

I've seen various things on the Internet about it being configurable by modifying the ~/.fluxbox/init file and adding one of:
session.useMod1: true
or
session.useModKey: Mod1

Neither of those worked for me.

It's probably something really simple that I've overlooked. I've confirmed that the Alt key still works I just used Alt+F to open the File menu in Firefox.

Thanks

Here are the contents of my .fluxbox/init file if it explains anything:

I have twm 1.0.4 installed and using Alt + Left_Click moves the windows just fine.

Any idea why this no longer works in fluxbox?

Both resizing and moving via Alt + Left/Right Click work fine for
me in fluxbox-1.1.1.

Make sure that the following is in your ~/.fluxbox/keys file:

Thanks yabbadabbadont!

That did the trick.

The fluxbox devs have this nasty habit of moving everything into the keys file. That wouldn't be too bad, except that their keys file update script is not very robust and often guesses wrong while updating. I've found that the best thing to do is to move my ~/.fluxbox directory to a new name before running a new version of fluxbox. That way it will create new files with any new default entries. I then vimdiff my saved files with the new ones and merge in my custom changes.
