A simple KWin script that introduces KDE Global Shortcuts for moving and resizing the active window in the current screen.
This script is inspired by Konstantinos Smanis's move window to center script. Here we extend that idea to move windows to corners/edges and to resize to dimensions that I personally find useful.
Note that what "I personally find useful" includes defaults catering to a Dvorak keyboard layout and 3200x1800 monitor; however, any hardcoded defaults should be easy to adjust to your own environment and workflow.
If you find this useful, you are strongly encouraged to fork this repository -- and to share your ideas with me!
Move shortcuts are provided for moving to all combinations of {Upper|Center|Lower} {Left|Center|Right}. If you have a QWERTY keyboard and use a Dvorak mapping, then the default shortcuts look like
Shift+Ctrl+Alt +
G C R
H T N
M W V
Resize shortcuts are provided for:
ResizeWindowTall:Shift+Ctrl+Meta+V, like Maximize Vertically, but leaving enough room expose a system monitor in the bottorm right corner of my desktop.ResizeWindowWide:Shift+Ctrl+Meta+H, like Maximize Horizontally, but leaving enough room expose a system monitor in the bottorm right corner of my desktop.ResizeWindowTeXWidth:Shift+Cutrl+Meta+X, sets the window width corresponding to 100 columns wide, my preferred LaTeX editing width, given my screen and fontsResizeWindowTermSize:Shift+Ctrl+Meta+T, sets the window size to my default Konsole window size
The script is automatically enabled after installation, but
you might have to restart KWin in order to use it for the first time. You
can configure the key bindings under System Settings > Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts > KWin.
