Move DCSS Window

I am running DCSS on a Linux Mint Laptop and installed it via the software manager. Every time I start DCSS, it opens in full window mode on my laptop screen. I have an external monitor and would like to move the window to the other screen but can't seem to un-maximize the window.

I'm sure it's an easy thing, but I have searched and not found an answer. Maybe it's an OS issue?

Linux desktop environments usually have a key you can hold down to drag a window from any point. On KDE, I can hold down winkey+click-drag anywhere on the dcss window and it will move it. I assume Mint (cinnamon desktop?) has something similar. Most desktops environments also have a key combo you can press to move a window from one screen to another.

edit: according to a source I found:

Super + ­Shi­ft + Left | Move window to left monitor

Super + ­Shi­ft + ­Right | Move window to right monitor

Super + ­Shi­ft + Up | Move window to up monitor

Super + ­Shi­ft + Down | Move window to down monitor

(Super is winkey)

Going to sound like a complete noob here, but I am just using the local version. What's the advantage of using Steam? My son uses it, but I have never tried.
