One thing that I didn't fully realize until today: Both GNOME Shell & Windows 7 use Super+Left/Right to half-maximize. I think the Design Team needs to carefully consider whether breaking keyboard shortcut compatibility with other desktops is worth it.
I think I'll change the Ubuntu GNOME Shell shortcuts to match since it's really just gsettings shortcuts and Unity will be switching to gsettings (maybe for 12.10?) and I think Unity/Compiz should avoid reinventing shortcuts if they're already supplied by gsettings-desktop-schemas. Doing that will still lose compatibility with GNOME Shell on other Linux distributions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969235 Title: Keyboard shortcuts - Update some window management shortcuts to use "Ctrl + Super" instead of just "Super" Status in Ayatana Design: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “compiz-plugins-main” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Change the following window management shortcuts from: Ctrl + Alt + D Minimises all windows Super + Cursor up Maximises the current window Super + Cursor down Restores or minimises current window Super + Cursor Left or Right Semi-maximises current window to: Ctrl + Super + D Minimises all windows Ctrl + Super + Cursor up Maximises the current window Ctrl + Super + Cursor down Restores or minimises current window Ctrl + Super + Cursor Left or Right Semi-maximises current window Rational: SUPER triggers the launcher, and the actions listed above do not require launcher interactions. As a result, using SUPER on it's own for these interactions has resulted in false positives where the launcher is revealed even though it provides no benefit for these interactions. Adding CTRL to the beginning of these shortcuts solves this problem, and also makes the shortcuts more congruous with the 'Ctrl + Alt + Cursor Keys' workspace shortcuts.
