GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 95499
Keyboard/mouse shortcut customization too limited
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I want to be able to minimize a window using <Alt>right mouse button (directly, I don't want to bring up the "activate window menu"). The shortcut tool will not let me do this. I can do this in sawfish, as well as older (twm, ctwm) window managers. My inability to make KDE do this is why I'm using gnome and sawfish in the first place. But I'd really like to upgrade to metacity and this lack of feature is preventing me from doing so.
Sawfish or fvwm2 are the right WM to use if you want to change all this sort of thing - metacity isn't designed for it.
Sounds like a design flaw to me. New programs aren't supposed to take features away. I've been using this shortcut in window managers since 1988. Oh well, so much for metacity. Thanks anyway.
