Public bug reported:

The default "keyboard shortcuts" used alt-left mouse drag and alt-right
mouse drag for moving and resizing the window. This is not possible on
laptops with touchpads. The defaults should be set appropriately to
match the available input methods, and the text should not refer to an
input method that isn't available on this hardware. (on this particular
hardware, alt-click is possible, and does move the window, but alt-tap
drag does not work. Most users won't know the difference, so if this is
going to be the default, it should work with alt-tap drag. It would be
great if you could use alt-pinch to resize a window).
