Prevent right click from invoking context menu

Post by 3tips »

Hoping someone can help me out here...

I play a game that I have to hold down the Alt key and right click to perform a game function. When I do, I get the right click context menu for the window (Minimize, Move, Resize etc). How can I stop this from happening?

I've tried going to Wine->Configure Wine->Graphics tab and selecting Emulate a virtual desktop, but this didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

btw: it is a full screen game, if that makes any difference.

Interesting. Game name so we can all look at this.

Correct. I don't think there is a mapping for ALT + Right Mouse Click
(keycode change) for Wine. I know this exists for Windows.

File a bug report. We cannot fix things we don't know about.

This is an old game, Mercadia (based on Mercenaries of Astonia v2), that can be found at http://www.mercadia.net

And being new to both Linux & Wine, I have no idea what key mappings Wine has.

If you see a bug in this, I'll post a bug report. I was just looking for a way to change the key assignments.

This can be marked solved -

I got it to stop bringing up the context menu by going to System->Preferences->Windows and changing the Movement Key from Alt to Super (or "Windows logo"). Ubuntu 10.4
