Re: Moving windows with keyboard shortcuts



Thanks. It is much clearer now. But I have a few concerns.
I defined the following keys:

gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_corner_nw "<ctrl><alt>q"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_corner_ne "<ctrl><alt>e"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_corner_sw "<ctrl><alt>z"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_corner_se "<ctrl><alt>c"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_side_n "<ctrl><alt>w"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_side_s "<ctrl><alt>x"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_side_e "<ctrl><alt>d"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_side_w "<ctrl><alt>a"
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/move_to_center "<ctrl><alt>s"

I can't move window for example from SW corner (Ctrl+Alt+z) to S side
(Ctrl+Alt+x). Moving from every 4 corners to every 4 side is
impossible. Is this a bug or a feature?

Second concer. I open up a urxvt terminal window, I use Ctrl+Alt+z to
move is to the lower left corner. When I open a new urxvt tab, the
window moves automatically to the center of the screen. This is where it
was before I moved it with defined key combination. Similar behaviour is
happening to other applications too. Again is this a bug or a feature :)
