    2020For example `J` means the simple keystroke which usually gives a lower case letter "j".
    2121An additional modifier key is noted in advance.
    22 E.g. `Shift+J` means holding the Shift key and then stroking the J key. This would usually give the upper case letter "J".

    246 
    247 In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME gnome] desktop environment "Alt"-Click is used for moving the window. The "AltGr" key can be used instead; note that on some keyboards the "AltGr" key is simply the right-hand "Alt" key.

    250 
    251 Linux may use the left-ALT key as a mouse modifier, which will annoyingly compel [wikitr:/Help/Action/ImproveWayAccuracy Improve Way Accuracy] mode to use right-Alt to delete nodes.

    255253==== KDE ====
    256 
    257 In some Linux desktop environment (e.g. KDE) the Alt-click event is captured to perform actions like dragging the window across the screen. To reclaim this combination to Josm you have to open the Control Center, click on Desktop, Window Behaviour, Actions and change the modifier key to something different than '''`Alt`'''.
