I thought that at first, but it is very handy when I take my laptop between normal monitor and vertical monitor.

The problem is not that the feature exist, it's that is set as default with key combos that are the standard way for selecting text, one of the most common use cases of the computer keyboard, afaik.

Ctrl alt for selecting text?

I know of shift and command, emacs and vi don't require you hold down any key. What system uses ctrl+alt?
