In Windows I normally hold Alt and drag to Orbit around an object or the scene. But Linux Mint seems to use the same combination to move windows.
How are you Linux users dealing with this?
I went to the Shortcuts in the Keyboard panel but I can’t locate the one using Alt + RMB dragging
Actually…
I guess I spoke too soon
I tried the command line suggested, and I also logged off just in case. But I am holding the Super key (Windows key) and left-clicking but it doesn’t work.
I am a KDE user. I think what that command does is change behavior of Alt key to Super key for GNOME. So, after doing this, you should be able to use Alt key inside Blender.
In Blender for Linux, do you have “Emulate 3 Button Mouse” option enabled from Blender settings, right?
Yeah, I use Linux Mint as well. As YAFU says, just change the shortcut to Super and it will work as you expect.
Just be aware that if your keyboard doesn’t have a Super key (usually the key with the Windows symbol) that you will not be able to move windows with it (or just choose another key).
That which is explained there in Blender manual does not require any other change in configuration of Blender shortcuts. You just have to apply the command and logout/login or restart the PC. Then opening Blender, Alt key should work as it works for you in Windows (as long as you have “Emulate 3 Button Mouse” enabled if you want that orbit behavior)
But I’m not sure if the desktop you’re using in Mint is GNOME. If this is other desktop or one derivative of GNOME, then it would be necessary to see if what is explained in Blender manual is still compatible.
Do you know exactly which version of Mint you are using and what is the Linux Desktop that it uses?
Edit:
Oh, @Grimm shows that Mint has a GUI to configure shortcuts. I think the steps to do it from that GUI in Mint should be mentioned in that Blender manual link I shared above.
