To change the modifier key from Alt to the Win (Super/Meta) key for moving and
  
11
resizing windows in Xfce:
  
12
  
  
13
1. Open Window Manager Tweaks:
  
14
    - Go to Settings → Window Manager Tweaks (or run `xfwm4-tweaks-settings`
  
15
      from a terminal).
  
16
2. Go to the “Accessibility” Tab:
  
17
    - Look for the option "Key used to grab and move windows".
  
18
3. Change the Modifier Key:
  
19
    - By default, this is set to Alt.
  
20
    - Change it to Super (or Meta, depending on your keyboard layout - this is
  
21
      the Windows key on most keyboards).
