some users prefer the old grid behaviour (dividing each time the keybinding
are used)

Title:
Unity Window Placement Hotkeys
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Here is the documented behavior of the Unity hotkeys and was accurate
and functional as of 11.04:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/what-are-unitys-keyboard-and-
mouse-shortcuts
==BEGIN EXCERPT FROM ABOVE==
Window Placement
If you cycle through the same key Unity will cycle through different
placement widths, so experiment by hitting the numkey multiple times,
for example Ctrl-Alt-numpad 5 5 5:
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 7 - Place window in top left corner of screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 8 - Place window in top half of screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 9 - Place window in top right corner of screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 - Place window on the left side of the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5 - Center/Maximize the window in the middle of the
screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 - Place window on the right side of the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 1 - Place window in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 2 - Place window in the bottom half of the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 3 - Place window in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 0 - Maximize window.
==END EXCERPT==
On 11.10 this behavior has changed in a couple of "less than
functional ways"
ISSUE 1
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 9 duplicates the function of Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 8
Repro Steps
1) Launch fresh terminal (don't reuse a terminal). - I also validated this
using a gedit window.
2) Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 9 (do the 9 multiple times to see the behavior).
3) Notice that the window is being expanded across the full length of the
top of the monitor.
To see the expected behavior compare to:
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 7(do the 7 multiple times to see the behavior).
ISSUE 2
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 and Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 do not have various widths for
window placements.
Repro Steps
1) Launch fresh terminal (don't reuse a terminal). - I also validated this
using a gedit window.
2) Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 (do the 6 multiple times to see the behavior).
3) Notice the width of the terminal or gedit did not adjust to different
widths as it should.
To see the expected behavior compare to:
Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 3(do the 3 multiple times to see the behavior).
ISSUE 3
This one is more confusing... When looking at issue 2, something
breaks and it reduces the number of window widths for ALL of the
numpad selections from 5 to 2.
1) Launch fresh terminal (don't reuse a terminal).
2) Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 3 (do the 3 multiple times to see the behavior).
3) Count the number of window widths this gives you.
4) Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 (do the 6 multiple times to see the behavior).
5) Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 3 (do the 3 multiple times to see the behavior).
6) Count the number of window widths this gives you.
Somehow the Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 has some affect on the other hotkeys.
The weirdest part of this is that when using gedit, Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6
does not affect the other hotkeys. Also noticed the Firefox is not
affected by this, so it might be safe to assume that this particular
issue only affects gnome-terminal.
