You perhaps speak of "windows settings" (gnome-window-properties)? In there, you have the setting for moving a window in holding a key and using the mouse. Alt is the default but you can choose in place Control or the Super key (or the "Windows logo"). Hope this helps.

P.S.= I'm not in Mint now, I'm in CentOS but should find it, I guess! :wink:

The same list with Alt+Space Bar, i.e. the window menu?
