Hi, I'm using virt-manager to connect to a Windows 10 virtual machine, where I'm using photoshop.
I need to send an alt-click key for some functions, but virt-manager is instead interpreting them. It isn't among the pre-configured options that can be sent. Is there a way to remap the alt key or alt-click combination so I can send it through to the virtual machine?
I've also tried the RealVNC client/server trial, and I can't get that to connect at all. It does appear qemu/realvnc server is listening on 5900:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
qemu is also configured to listen (-spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1). I've also verified I can connect to port 5900 manually, so a Windows firewall is not the problem.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Just a thought in general: Don't you need to use an actual LAN IP (virtual or real) rather than 127.0.0.1?
I thought virtual machines used some kind of bridge interface between both sides.

Yes, that's a good question. I also recall that now too, actually. I set this up many years ago and have only had this problem for a few years, lol.
I did figure this out - it's actually GNOME that's interpreting/intercepting this ALT-Click combination. Disable it in System Settings under "Special key to move and resize windows". I've never used alt-click to move windows, so disabling it won't affect me.
Thanks, Alex
