Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Please add an additional keypress, e.g., Shift to override this behavior. I know you can supposedly override this function for a specific app (that currently doesn't work since the textbox is uneditable) but I would prefer a more granular method allowing it to be used in an app when I need it but not when I need a function that requires the Alt key, e.g., Notepad++.
### Scenario when this would be used?
Notepad++ has functions that use the Alt key to do various things. I also would like to be able to move Notepad++ windows using Grab And Move. Right now I cannot do both without manually turning off Grab And Move and then resetting it.
### Supporting information

Research direction
Start at the Grab And Move entry point and its settings or configuration, then check how Alt is currently captured while using Notepad++. Define the override behavior and verify that window movement and Notepad++ Alt shortcuts both work without manually toggling the feature.
