Greetings,

WindowMaker is great!

Although I could change the default Mod1 (Alt) key to drag windows to
Mod4 (Super), I could not change that configuration for the "resize
window" command.

Some applications in which I use Control+MouseWheel presented, then, the
weird behaviour of resizing the window while I was just zooming.

Actually, it would be nice if the key set to drag windows be the same as
the one to resize. Is this possible and easy to do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am not sure I understand properly what you are referring to.
From the window menu, there is already a "Resize/Move" option,
that let you resize or move the window with the arrow keys (+/- ctrl).
That action key can be set from WPrefs. Is that solving your use case ?

regards,
david
