While working with PuTTY in an SSH session, I'd like to use the Window Control Menu by pressing Alt + Space, like in other Windows, but this shortcut doesn't work, as it seems that PuTTY is capturing and sending it to the remote system.

Is there a setting or an alternative way to achieve this?

In PuTTY Configuration window, go to:
Window > Behaviour > System menu appears on ALT-Space

    I swear I looked for this option up and down over many weeks and my eyes seem to have always skipped seeing it. Thank you very much for making my life easier.
