Linux – keystroke combination like “WIN + Left-arrow” In Linux (openSUSE)

keyboard shortcutslinux

Is there a keystroke combination like "WIN + Left-arrow" in Linux (openSUSE), which moves the active window to the right half of the current screen?

Edit:

The solution I found is:

  1. Download "ctrlwm" from http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/ctrlwm?content=114565
  2. Open the Control Panel of openSUSE, click on "Regional and Accessiblity", and click on "Keyboard shortcuts"
  3. Add a shortcut with "meta + left" and point it to ctrlwm with the additional parameters -z -u

This is an older question, so the solution I'm about to describe may not have been available back when this was first asked.

In OpenSUSE 12.3 (KDE), one can do the following:

  • Alt+F2, type "systemsettings" and hit Enter.

  • Click on "Shortcuts and Gestures", select "Global Keyboard Shortcuts" from the pane at the left, and select "KWin" (the KDE default window manager) from the "KDE component" drop-down menu.

  • Scroll down until you see in the "Action" column the actions "Quick Tile Window to the Left [/Right]"

These are the actions you want to map to the Meta+Left / Meta+Right keybindings -- just click on the actions, input the mappings, and enjoy.
