Alt+Click conflicts window move in Linux
But CTRL+ALT+Click and all other works. I have the issue with both Firefox and Chromium, under Linux.
Copy the following line of code :
javascript:document.addEventListener("click", function(e){alert(e.altKey)});
Could you try those two things and tell me if you see true or false ? :)
Firefox
- go to any web page
- hit SHIFT+F4
- paste
- click Run
- ALT click in the web page background
Chromium
- go to any web page
- paste in address bar
- ALT click in the web page background
For both: click = alert(false) alt+click = nothing happens
And... I got it now :( It's a shortcut of my window manager, the browser actually never gets it. I found it and disabled it, it works. Sorry!
After the loss of pankkake, I went through this issue. In fact it's the same for me now that I am using Debian Xfce where Alt+click stands for a shortcut for window move. I don't know if I want to deactivate this default Xfce shortcut or rather change my script for compatibility with all the people who will not want to change default Xfce.
Fixed by using Ctrl+Shift+click instead of Alt+click in #736.
