Public bug reported: We currently have a way to semi-maximise windows to the left and to the right of the screen.
It would be great to be able to semi-maximise windows to the bottom and to the top of the screen, in particular for people using square monitors, and for apps that require horizontal space to be readable. Implementing this would probably bring the need to redefine keyboards shortcuts, as currently ctrl + super + left or right control the semi- maximisation, whereas ctrl + super + up or down controls respectively maximisation and restoring original window size. This could for example be changed to: - ctrl + super + arrows for 4 different semi-maximisations - ctrl + shift + up or down for respectively maximising and restoring (and minimising, as it should already be the case as stated in the keyboard shortcuts overlay) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: compiz 1:0.9.8.6-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-22.34-generic 3.5.7.2 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-22-generic i686 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Mon Jan 14 14:38:21 2013 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: quantal DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: hdjmod, 1.28, 3.5.0-21-generic, i686: installed hdjmod, 1.28, 3.5.0-22-generic, i686: installed GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27ae] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device [144d:c052] Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device [144d:c052] InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-21 (84 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release i386 (20121017.2) MachineType: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
