Description Jakub Steiner 2011-12-13 14:34:50 UTC 
I'd like to propose to use the <Super> modifier as a default in place of <Alt> for window resizing and movement. Alt is very often used on application and toolkit level and creates conflicts (From my experience I can mention Blender, GIMP & Inkscape). It will be in line with the newly added tiling/maximization/restoring shortcuts that also utilize <super>.

With bug #662476 addressed, the key doesn't conflict with entering the overview.
