[Fluxbox-users] moving a window with the mouse

[Jonathan Reed]

Hi,
This seems like a simple thing but I'm unable to move a window by taking
hold of the title bar using the mouse and dragging across the screen to
another position. On my other fluxbox installations i didnt seem to have
this problem. I'm running version 1.1.1+git20100.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To be more complete, I'm using the bora_black style and the correct version
im running is 1.1.1+git20100807.0cc08f9-1 since it comes included with
my distribution. The only configuration changes I've made have been to
create a custom keys file. I wasnt sure if this window behavior was the
expected operation in this version but im assuming its not. If its not then
I will try upgrading to the latest version 1.3.1.

I've installed the 1.3.1 sources but no luck here moving windows around. I'm
running ubuntu 10.10.

strangely your keys-file was not auto-updated, anyhow:

add 'OnTitlebar Mouse1 :StartMoving' to your keys file. that should help.

Turned out the keys file that I took from an installation running fluxbox
1.1.1-6 didnt include any of the declarations I needed to move windows
around in my new installation of 1.3.1. Silly mistake on my part. Heres what
I was missing in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

OnLeftGrip Move1 :StartResizing bottomleft
OnRightGrip Move1 :StartResizing bottomright
OnTitlebar Move1 :StartMoving

thanks for helping.
