I did search for this first, but…
Alt-Right mouse-click is how I resize windows in every other distro’s version Plasma (that I’ve used). How do I set this in Opensuse? Or what’s the shortcut?
Hi millstonepoet,
I never stop learning. Never heard of that before, but it works here on Leap 15.2 - apparently out of the box.
I’m on: Leap 15.2, Plasma 5.18.6, KDE Frameworks 5.71.0, QT-version 5.12.7 - so it’s not totally comparable to Tumbleweed.
Under my Tumbleweed (20210803) KDE Plasma system Alt-Right-click activates resize. It’s set under** System Settings->Window Management->Window Behaviour->Window Action**. It seems that the default is Meta-Right-click and I seem to have changed Meta to Alt at some point - at least that’s what the Window Action panel appears to indicate.
Well, again thanks for the hint. Here, however “Meta” is not involved as default. For sure I have not touched these settings!
That might be a difference between Leap and TW.
I checked in a fresh install of Tumbleweed (a virtualbox running 20210625), and the default under Window Actions is Meta. So if you have not touched those settings, then Meta-Rightclick is window resize.
Some thoughts.
If it is Alt in Leap 15.2, you can be sure that it was also Alt in an earlier snapshot of Tumbleweed.
Installing a new snapshot of Tumbleweed will NOT change the user configuration of existing users, regardless if they have changed it or not.
New users created and doing their first KDE login will however get the new default Meta.
Thus it is quite possible that on the same up-to-date Tumblweed system, some users will have Alt (because they had that always) and some users will have Meta (because they are “new”). This without one of them ever having changed from the default. (This is of course also true if one of those two categories of users on a particular system has null members).
By the way, thanks to all for answering this. Of all the weird and pointless tweaks inflicted on users, this has to be one of the most annoying.
