Expose more default window management shortcuts
Summary: KWin's window management powers are not as discoverable as they could be--particularly tiling, which by default has no visible UI and no keyboard shortcuts. Resolving this issue is highly relevant to {T6831}. This patch re-assigns the {key Meta arrowkeys} shortcuts that are currently used for `move zoomed area` (which are pretty esoteric, infrequently-used actions), adding {key ctrl} to their shortcuts. This allows us to use their valuable {key Meta arrowkeys} for more useful and commonly-used window management actions: - {key Meta Left}: quick tile window to the left - {key Meta Right}: quick tile window to the right - {key Meta Up}: quick-tile window to the top - {key Meta Down}: quick-tile the window to the bottom The patch also sets some default shortctuts for minimize and maximize: - {key Meta PageDown}: minimize window - {key Meta PageUp}: maximize/de-maximize the window Test Plan: Do a clean build `make test` (no new test failures) Reboot Create and log into a new user account - {key meta up} tiles the active window to the top - {key meta down} tiles the active window to the bottom - {key meta left} tiles the active window to the left - {key meta right} tiles the active window to the right - {key meta PageDown} minimizes the active window - {key meta PageUp} maximizes and de-maximizes the active window - {key meta ctrl up} moves the zoomed area up - {key meta ctrl down} moves the zoomed area down - {key meta ctrl left} moves the zoomed area to the left - {key meta ctrl right} moves the zoomed area to the right Reviewers: #kwin, #plasma, romangg Reviewed By: #kwin, #plasma, romangg Subscribers: mart, romangg, broulik, jnoack, kwin Tags: #kwin Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D11377
