@aharoni I can't do that, because alt+click combinations are reserved by my window manager.

@wollman Might check to see if your window-manager lets you remap that. I use Fluxbox and have Mod4 (AKA "Logo" or "Win" key) + LMB/RMB to move/resize windows for exactly this reason—applications like GIMP, Inkscape, Blender (and apparently Firefox) want to use alt+drag for useful features. @aharoni

@wollman@mastodon.social @aharoni@wikis.world Ctrl + Alt + click might work for you as good as for me (Alt + drag & drop is used to move window in my desktop) Now that I'm writing in this thread, I have to say that I did that kind of complex text selection by using caret browsing (F7), which forces the text cursor and allows you to move it around, select text and do other kind of stuff.
