How do I control window placement in KDE with keyboard?
More precisely:
System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts
- KDE component:
KWin ▼
Quick Tile Window to the Left
etc.
There is also somewhat interesting Enable/Disable Tiling
, which defaults to Alt+Shift+F11
. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to move tile a window so that it consumes top or bottom of the screen, but other hotkeys can be used to achieve that.
The KDE global keyboard shortcuts: System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global Keyboard Shortcuts. Pick the KWIN as the KDE component. You could set the keyboard shortcuts to the window position/tiling etc...
I was looking for a way to mimic the Microsoft Windows 7 window placement via keyboard including the windows (start) key.
Similar to the other answers I went:
- Component:
System Settings
-> Shortcuts
--> Global Shortcuts
---> System Settings Module
(KDE Plasma Version: 5.9.5)
---> KWin
(KDE Plasma Version: 5.9.12) - Action:
Quick Tile Window to the {Left|Right}
etc. - Used key-combinations:
Meta+Left
,Meta+Right
here: the meta key is the name for the MS Windows start key.
