Disallow dragging of windows by the titlebar with right mouse button?

I would like to make it so that windows can be dragged by the titlebar only with left mouse button, but not with the right (currently they are draggable with both). Is there a way to achieve this?

Using xfce 4.16.

Hello and welcome.

Don't think that is possible - see: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/gettin … ve_windows.

Yep. It's hard-coded.

    else if (event->button == Button3)
    {
        XfwmButtonClickType tclick;

        tclick = typeOfClick (screen_info, c->window, event, FALSE);
        if (tclick == XFWM_BUTTON_DRAG)
        {
            clientMove (c, event);
        }

If you click and drag with the right button, it will start moving the client window.
