Remapping alt key using xfwm4-tweaks-settings

Hi,

Using xfwm4-4.14.2-1 on Centos 8.3.2011 with no issues but am seeing a conflict in the window management when I use a modeling tool that uses both the alt and shift keys in conjunction with the mouse buttons to manipulate the viewport.

I have unsucessfully tried to use xfwm4-tweaks-settings to change the alt key function under the Accessibility tab for "Key used to grab and move windows" to another key besides Shift and Alt. The alt key is still intercepted by the WM and is not delivered to the app.

Anyone figure this one out?

Thanks

Figured out the issue. The tool that I was using was set to a drawing mode which was ignoring the alt key. Changing this solved the problem.
