Win+Cursor key functionality copied from windows 7

[TOTAL]

To maximise a windows, you can use alt+F10, which is great.
However, it would be really cool to have also the other functionality, such make window cover left/right part of the screen. The said combination is very logical and enables really quick manipulation of windows. Has anyone managed to get this set up this way or better in MX Linux?

The Win/Super key is assigned to Whisker menu by default. Due to a limitation of Whisker menu it's not possible to assign a key combo to a key that controls Whisker menu. If you want to use Win/Super key together with another key (key combo) then you must assign a different key to open/close Whisker menu.

(Win/Super + shift to open file manager is only possible if another key controls open/close Whisker menu. I believe there is a thread about this).

I always add 3 additional keyboard shortcuts to my installations, all tied to the Win/Super key

Win/Super + e opens Thunar file manager
Win/Super + c opens Galculator
Win/Super + t opens Xfce-Terminal

I know there's the F4 key for the terminal, but I like the windowed approach, not fixed positions, plus I can open as many as I want in one go by holding the Win/Super key and tapping the letter as many times as I need to.

The following edit was made to /home/michael/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

Code: Select all

      <property name="&lt;Super&gt;e" type="string" value="exo-open --launch FileManager"/>
      <property name="&lt;Super&gt;t" type="string" value="/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper"/>
      <property name="&lt;Super&gt;c" type="string" value="/usr/bin/galculator"/> 

As for positioning windows to one half of the screen, Magnetic edges are already enabled, open any app, grab its titlebar and drag it (by drag, I mean slap) to any of the display edges. If you drag it into a corner, it will resize to 1/4 of the screen, if you drag it to the left or the right edge, it will occupy exactly half of the display area on the side to which you dragged it.

The only exception is when have workspaces set to be horizontally placed. Mine are vertically stacked, so no issues arise.

You may create any arrangement or keybindings that please you, including those used in Win.

...in Menu/Settings/Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts tab.
