Button 1
    Move window.

Button 3
    Resize window.

Mousewheel down
    Lower window.

Mousewheel up
    Raise window.

Mousewheel over root window switches virtual desktops Dragging the window againstthe left/right screen edge will switch to prev./next virtual Worspace. Most keyboard controls are used by holding down Control and Alt, then pressing a key. Available functions are:
