BTW, if you want to try it under Xfce you can set a bunch of shortcuts quickly by editing:

     /.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml

... and doing this sort of thing:

       <property name="<Alt>1" type="string" value="movemouse -g1"/>
       <property name="<Alt>2" type="string" value="movemouse -g2"/>
       <property name="<Alt>3" type="string" value="movemouse -g3"/>
       <property name="<Alt>4" type="string" value="movemouse -g4"/>
       <property name="<Alt>5" type="string" value="movemouse -cg5"/>
       <property name="<Alt>6" type="string" value="movemouse -s1"/>
       <property name="<Alt>7" type="string" value="movemouse -s2"/>
       <property name="<Alt>8" type="string" value="movemouse -s3"/>
       <property name="<Alt>9" type="string" value="movemouse -s4"/>
       <property name="<Alt>0" type="string" value="movemouse -s5"/>

You can't do any dragging, it's only useful to move the mouse from one 
window to another and raise focus.  Myself, I use it to move between 
windows when I have my hands on the KB and don't want to reach for the 
mouse, it's especially nice when you have several terminals open, so you 
are totally KB oriented and don't want to need the mouse for anything.
