            Bug ID: 364927
           Summary: Add default shortcuts for window resizing
           Product: kwin
           Version: 5.6.95
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: supa...@protonmail.ch

Many popular Desktops like GNOME and Windows have shortcuts to resize the
active window. Most of the time seen in the form of:
META + ARROW to move the window and resize it.

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html.en

I know KWin can do all of this, but no shortcuts are mapped out of the box. So
why not adopt this behaviour and make it default.

Something like:
META + Left/Right -> Moves the active window to the left/right (analog to mouse
dragging)
META + Up -> Maximize the active window

That's the most crucial I think. My suggestion clashes with the window zoom, so
either break it or instead of META let's use something like CTRL + ALT + Arrow.

Why bother? Because all other Desktops spoiled me and I think many users would
appreciate it.

Reproducible: Always
