Key used to grab and move the window....

I see there are some key options for this, such as Control, Alt, Shift and such. But I use them all for other stuff. For one I have no clue what Mod keys are, and second maybe it is a good idea to allow users to add their favorite key for the job. For example would be great to use the mouse wheel button to grab windows. Is there another way to do it?

Re: Key used to grab and move the window....

Mod keys are modifier keys like alt, shift, control. You can see your current modifier keys by running:

xmodmap -p

You can also re-assign them - instructions at this arch wiki entry. You can modify and customize the mod1..5 keys this way to suit what you need.
