A possibility. What is the alternative to alt-scrollwheel for laptop with a  
touchpad, no mouse, and click to tap turned off. My recollection of that  
ungodly hour in the middle of the night is that my fingers were in the  
vicinity of random keys, and nowhere near the touchpad.

I did say that I looked in settings, and I looked again. In Window Manager >  
Keyboard I don't see any keyboard action whose description could be this. I  
don't see any other settings tab related to the keyboard.
