Probably a silly question, and it might be because I’ve crossgraded¹ from xubuntu to Ubuntu MATE: Where can I set up shortcut keys for functions like resizing/moving a window to take up the right half of the workspace? (If I need to do it manually; I’m not sure what commands to run. Surely there’s a list somewhere)
I’ve poked around in the settings options; and I’ve tried googling, but my google-fu sucks on this, partly because I’m still somewhat of a Linux newbie and learning different terms…
I hope this isn’t an annoying question! I don’t wanna be a n00b, just a newbie.
That also gave me terms that google likes better. So far, it looks like I can’t make a shortcut key to tile a window to the right (east?) half of a workspace.Source Ah, well, at least I’m closer.
edit: Does this mean it’s coming-but-not-here-yet?
If you use Compiz, Ctl+Alt+(number pad buttons) are already bound to moving windows to the corners, sides and maximize/minimize. I know that doesn’t help if you’re intention is to stay on Marco, but just something to consider.
I do not think marco has sutch features as Compiz .
You can install Compiz and it will work fast if you do not enable the effects and OpenGL renger .
As for themes you can set gtk-window-decorator theme with
dconf-editor . Just go to /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences and set theme to your likeing . If it does not work you have to enable the gtk-window-decorator to use metacity themes . To do that see this
if you give me more characteristics of the device i may help you out more .
So I have a Laptop with CPU Intel Dual Core 1.8 Ghz processor
2 gigs of Ram and intel based graphic card with 128 mb ram
And Compiz works fine , exept some experimental plugins like the Freely transformable windows or motion blur
That thing handles Compiz like a champ. If you want to get rid of the screen tearing in Marco due to Intel graphics (ie… slight tearing when moving windows or watching videos) I can walk you through how to do that easily, as well.
Wimpy, I was curious about this so I loaded a Linux Mint 17.2 VM that ships with 1.10 and I didn’t see any setting for these bindings. Did this not get shipped with the initial release or is it kinda hidden away?
I was asking about the keybindings for tiling windows to left and right sides of the screen. I saw that there was a commit listed for 1.10 but I can’t find anything relating to it.
