Configuration

The extension can be configured using the gnome prefs tool.

  • Keybindings are updated when you edit them in the settings window.
  • All other changes are not saved until you hit the save button

Keybindings

Gnome Shell >= 3.4 Keybindings are configured using gsettings stored in a custom schema file inside the extension directory. To modify the keybindings use the "gnome prefs tool".

The following keys are available:

  • put-to-side-n
    • move to north edge, height: 50% width 100%
  • put-to-side-e
    • move to easth edge, height: 100% width 50%
  • put-to-side-s
    • move to south edge, height: 50% width 100%
  • put-to-side-w
    • move to west edge, height: 100% width 50%
  • put-to-corner-XY width 50% height 50%
    • move-to-corner-ne
    • move-to-corner-se
    • move-to-corner-sw
    • move-to-corner-nw
  • put-to-center
    • move to center of the screen, widht 50% height 50%. Press twice to maximize the window
  • put-to-location
    • resize to a configured location (see wiki for details)

Gnome Shell 3.2 The keybinding can not be stored in a custom schema. The extension uses de predefined bindings /apps/metacity/window_keybindings. Modify ghem with gconf-editor/gconftool/gconftool-2. run gconf-editor /apps/metacity/window_keybindings

For details how to configure it, please check the wiki.

2 screen setup support

the extention works well with 2 screens in horizontal setup.

Moving windows from one screen to another only possible widh side_e and side_w and only if windows was at side_e (or side_w) before. eg.

  • a window in corner_nw of the right screen is not move to the left screen.
  • a window at side_e of the right screen is move to the left screen (side_w)

TODO

  • 2 screens support vor vertical alignment
  • reload config
