How to disable ‘Alt’ + mouse default behavior in KDE

kdekwin

By default, when one holds down Alt and drags with the mouse, it will move a window in KDE/kwin. Is there a way to disable this for a particular application?

I know there's a lot of application overrides (click top left window icon > Advanced > Special Application Settings), but I can't find one to disable this alt key. The closest I can find is to disable global keyboard shortcuts.

Best Answer

In the KDE System Settings for Window Behavior, change the Window Actions for Inner Window, Titlebar, & Frame. With the modifier key set to Alt, set the left button to Nothing. You can also reassign the action to a different modifier key.
