It's handy, of course, but it also means not being able to rely on 
Alt-click in our UIs.


In many cases I've migrated some Alt-click functionality to Shift-click, 
but it's nice to have both mod keys available, and some things make more 
semantic sense with Alt rather than Shift.




Indeed. That messed me up earlier on in glx2, where mapping the osx 
command and option keys to other platforms had a few interesting events.

As can often happen, especially when you frequently alternate between using one 
and two monitors, the top of the dictionary window was underneath the macOS 
menubar. To fix that in the past I would do something on the lines of put the 
windows, figure out that the window is called revDictionary, then set the top 
of window revDictionary to 100.

There’s just a Reload option in macOS right-click.

IIRC, in Linux a window can be moved by right-clicking and selecting
'move', then drag from anywhere within the frame.
