    Hi!

    First of all sorry if this is a duplicate question, I searched the forum, but couldn't find anyting related.

    I was wondering whether there is a way to enable resizing and moving of windows like in Ubuntu for example. By pressing Alt and clicking the left button it's possible to move a window and by middle or right button to resize.
    Is something like this possible in Deepin 15.2? I don't mind editing some settings in dconf manually if required.

    Thank you for your replies!

    But since 15.1 it's no use...

    I made a "Deepin User Feedback" but nothing  come out.

    After a bit more digging I found this in dconf-editor:
    com --> deepin ---> wrap --> gnome --> desktop --> wm --> preferences
    Here are 2 settings which are interesting, the main one is "mouse-button-modifier". The default in Deepin in ". If we change it to we get something similar to Ubuntu's behaviour. Make sure that when entering there are no quotes around it, just .

    Another interesting setting is "resize-with-right-mouse". This allows resizing of a window with the right mouse button instead of the middle one, convenient when using Deepin on a laptop with touchpad. I set this to True.

    After setting these setting I logged out and back in again. Now it seems to work like I wanted to with every application.
