ALT click; confusing behavior

[reum]

Let me start by congratulating all folks and commending this product. This is proving for me to be as useful as ohmyzsh and brew.

I’m trying to configure the ALT+click to emulate the same behavior it has on linux: you can use it to move windows by grabbing then in any spot. The issue I have is that in my current configuration ALT+click is the toggle, so I have to press it at the beginning of the action and at the end of the action. In linux the dragging behavior stops as soon as you release ALT or the click. I’ll be grateful to any suggestion.

you need to split it up into separate "start moving" and "stop moving" actions where the stop moving is only triggered on mouse up:

Also make sure to check this option for the start moving:

Brilliant. Thank you!!

How should I achieve this function using only the touchpad? I've been struggling with it for several days

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

you could e.g. set a three finger click to start the moving and add a "on touch release" trigger to end it once no finger is touching the trackpad anymore:

Thank you very much for your answer. I just found another method that seems to achieve the same effect.
