ALT + Mouse 1 Move Unity Editor Screen . Solution Inside

When i try to rotate cube i added to scene , alt+mouse 1 configuration move the whole unity-editor . On some linux distro, this is general problem for 3d graphic programs which use same combination as like maya

Temporary solution is pressing windows button on keyboard before ALT button , than you can press mouse 1 to rotate object

Solution :

install Compiz Config Settings Manager by :

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

and open it

on filter menu , search for :

Move Window

and near to mouse icon , change ALT-mouse 1 combination to something else , such as alt-shift-ctrl-mouse 1

so , now you can use ALT+Mouse 1 combination for unity3d

Thanks. Used the Win+Alt trick and it worked!

On KDE you make the change in SystemSettings->Window Behavior->Window Behavior (2nd icon down on left side)->Window Actions Tab.
The bottom section should be titles “Inner Window, Titlebar & Frame” and you can change the Modifier key to Meta instead of Alt.

There must be a quicker route to make this change?

I have Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) with the MATE desktop environment.

This change can be made through System > Preferences > Windows > Movement Key, and change the option to use ‘Super (or “Windows logo”)’.
