Note: In some Linux environments, the window manager consumes `Alt+Shift+Arrow` -combinations so Textadept may need reconfiguring. Also, Textadept uses -`Super+Mouse` because `Alt+Mouse` generally moves windows. (Your window manager -usually defines the `Super` modifier key as the left "Windows" key.)
