Research direction
Start by reproducing the Grab And Move conflict in Photoshop Elements 2022 on Windows 10, using the Zoom tool and holding Alt. Trace Grab And Move's keyboard and mouse handling to determine why Alt is intercepted; done means Photoshop's normal Alt-to-zoom-out behavior works while Grab And Move is enabled, without regressing its move action.
