That's a good thought. Any idea where I might look for that?
I don't even understand what purpose ALT+mouse has with cinnamon?
What's the default purpose for that key combination? Years (decades,
even) ago, I would look in my X11.conf file where the keybindings
were
defined.
I also don't like the default GNOME wm or I would be using that, but
I'm also not tied to using Cinnamon. However, it seems to be among
the
few fedora choices. Any suggestions on other window managers to use?
Cinnamon is not a window manager but a desktop environment (the window
manager is part of a DE, but not the whole story). Aside from Gnome,
other DEs include KDE (my own preference) as well as a good few others
such as Mate, LXDE, XFCE etc., some of them more lightweight than
others.
