I can’t seem to find an answer via google. In order to play Guild Wars 2 (this is a windows game so i had to use steam to get it to run in linux mint 22.1)

the game runs pretty good. the problem I can’t use the ALT key … and I need that key for certain things.

but the games acts as if I’m not pressing ALT.

I’m thinking the ALT key bound to something via steam or even to linux mint itself but I’m not sure where to even look at. sadly google wasn’t helpful. Any tips on where to begin looking at? (warning : I’m new to linux so might need a few pointers).

    This is a Linux Mint issue. The Alt+click combination is bound to “move window”.

    The solution listed at the end:

    Go to Menu.
    Select Preferences.
    Navigate to the Windows section.
    Click on the Behavior tab.
    Locate the option for ‘Special Key to move and resize windows.’
    Set it to ‘Disabled’ (or any other preference you’d like).
