9 years ago Hi. Next time it happens, can you try pressing Esc? That should cancel whatever AltDrag is doing. I think it has happened to me a few times but not recently. Thanks for the exhaustive report! On Dec 12, 2014 1:21 AM, "Paul Brüll" notifications@github.com wrote:

but this time for some reason that buttonmashing didnt help and when i alt tabbed to another windoe and after that pressed ctrl, the window i alttabbed to got minimized. except the thunderbird main window every other got minimized by ctrl.
This is happening about once a week btw. i cant really see a pattern, sometimes it wont even let me click in taskmanager, sometimes it wont let me type. rather weird. maybe a "reset" combo should be implemented? dont know if its possible but maybe you could listen to ctrl alt del, reset altdrag and send the ctrl alt del back to windows to handle? shrug or ctrl+alt+backspace like in the good ol days when x used to be restarted by that...
Fun, this time it would let me switch windows with alt+tab, but the focus would stay with the first window i had opened...
doh, didnt read that altdrag got moved here, had it posted in the old tracker a year ago..
here is my altdrag.ini
; Disable and enable AltDrag to refresh configuration. ; Please read the wiki for help: https://code.google.com/p/altdrag/w/list
; Note: If you can't edit this file, reopen it with administrator privileges. ; One way of doing that is by first elevating AltDrag and then using ; the "Open ini file" button in the Advanced tab.
[General] AutoFocus=0 ; Automatically raise and focus the windows you drag. ; You can also press Ctrl to focus the window you are dragging.
Aero=1 ; Mimic Windows 7 Aero Snap behavior. ; Drag windows to the left, right, top or bottom side of the monitor. Corners work too! ; Hold Ctrl to trap the mouse cursor within the current monitor for easier snapping when using multiple monitors. ; List of settings: ; 0: Disabled. ; 1: Enabled. ; 2: Enabled, but if you run Windows 7, then only if Aero Snap is enabled.
InactiveScroll=0 ; Add ability to scroll inactive windows. ; Hold shift to scroll horizontally. Note that this will not work in all programs (the functionality was added in Vista, and not many programs have implemented it). ; This option unfortunately does not work for applications which use old Windows API.
AutoSnap=2 ; Makes the window automatically snap to other windows, without the need to press shift. ; List of settings: ; 0: Disabled. ; 1: Automatically snap to the screen borders and the taskbar. ; 2: Also automatically snap to the outside of windows. ; 3: Also automatically snap to the inside of windows. ; Try it with HookWindows to make windows snap on normal window drag.
MDI=1 ; Enable support for MDI windows (Multiple Document Interface), e.g. mIRC. ; This will enable support for AltTab scrolling of MDI windows as well. ; Support for MDI windows in HookWindows is always enabled.
Language=de-DE ; Available languages: en-US (English), fr-FR (French), pl-PL (Polish), pt-BR (Portuguese), ru-RU (Russian), sk-SK (Slovakian), zh-CN (Chinese), it-IT (Italian), de-DE (German). ; You may find more languages on the website (ini files). ; Do you want to help translate? Read http://code.google.com/p/altdrag/wiki/Translate
[Input] LMB=Move MMB=Minimize RMB=Resize MB4=Nothing MB5=Nothing Scroll=Nothing ; Mouse actions. ; Available actions: Move, Resize, Close, Minimize, Lower, AlwaysOnTop, Center, Nothing. ; Scroll actions: AltTab, Volume, Transparency, Nothing ; When moving and resizing windows, hold shift to snap to other windows. ; For Volume and Transparency, try holding shift to adjust the speed. ; If you have a great idea for a new action, submit it to the issue tracker!
LowerWithMMB=1 ; Lower windows by middle clicking on the title bar, without pressing Alt. ; A twist is that you can also middle click the top border and corners and the title bar buttons as well, which is useful if the window has a small title bar (or none), e.g. web browsers with a lot of tabs open
Hotkeys= A4 A5 ; Configure what keys trigger dragging, resizing, and the other mouse actions. ; This option is advanced, so you should read about it on the wiki: http://code.google.com/p/altdrag/wiki/Hotkeys ; Find hex values at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd375731(VS.85).aspx ; You can specify up to 10 keys.
[Blacklist] ProcessBlacklist= Blacklist=|TaskSwitcherWnd,|TaskSwitcherOverlayWnd,|#32770 Snaplist=_|BaseWindowRootWnd,|SkinWnd,|ChatSkinWnd,|SpotifyMainWindow,_|USurface33202 ; Read how the blacklist works on the wiki: http://code.google.com/p/altdrag/wiki/Blacklist ; Common blacklist rules: *|Photoshop,|illustrator,*|PuTTY
[Advanced] HookWindows=0 ; HookWindows takes the snap behavior one step further and allows you to snap windows when dragging normally (using the title bar). ; Please note that HookWindows is more invasive than normal alt-dragging, and will not work properly with some programs. ; Note that you may have trouble deleting hooks.dll after using HookWindows, but a logout/login should release the file in worst case.
AutoRemaximize=1 ; Automatically re-maximize windows when you move them between monitors. ; List of settings: ; 0: Disabled. ; 1: Enabled. ; 2: Enabled, but restore window after one second. ; You can press the right mouse button (resize action) when moving a window to toggle maximized state.
FocusOnTyping=0 ; Move focus to window when typing. A different approach to the X-Mouse feature in Windows. ; List of settings: ; 1: Focus and raise window ; 2: Focus but do not raise window (beware: this is a BIG HACK and will probably not work satisfactory)
SnapThreshold=20 ; The distance in number of pixels when snapping starts.
MultipleInstances=0 ; Set to 1 to allow multiple instances of AltDrag. ; Useful if you e.g. want to use Alt+LMB to move and Ctrl+LMB to resize. ; Note that you have to use two installations to store two different configurations.
AlwaysElevate=0 ; Set to 1 to have AltDrag always request elevation.
[Performance] Cursor=1 ; Makes the cursor icon change when dragging and resizing.
MoveRate=2 ResizeRate=5 ; The number of pixels to wait before actually moving the window. ; A timer will ensure that there are never more than 100 ms between updates. ; Use 1 for instant updates.
[Update] CheckOnStartup=1 ; This setting controls if AltDrag should automatically check for update when it is started. ; AltDrag will only notify you if it finds a new version. It will not download anything for you! ; You can check for update manually in the configuration window, regardless of this setting.
Beta=0 ; Want to be notified of beta releases? ; Don't expect beta releases to be posted very often (or at all). ; Get in touch with me if you want a bleeding edge build.
