KWin - Default Shortcuts (Moving Windows Between Virtual Desktops)

Moving windows between Virtual Desktops is probably one of the things that I do most if I don’t already have special window or application settings defined.

The current shortcut is Meta+Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right.

Rather than play Twister with your fingers, could this not be set as default to:

Meta+Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right ?

It’s so much more intuitive, and runs perfectly alongside switching Virtual Desktops using Meta+Ctrl+Up/Down/Left/Right

I’ve been setting this change for as long as I can remember. Me and my arthritic hands will thank you… :slight_smile:

The art of twister is learning to cheat… for example, just pushing your hand down on the corner of the keyboard to push Ctrl down for a F-row shortcut…

Something I appreciate about this particular cluster is that I can use a single Pinkie press to depress all three (because Ctrl/Shift/Meta all meet at the same point).

I would actually find Meta+Shift to be far more awkward for that job (though it can still be done with a single pinkie press).

Thanks ben2talk

Until now I thought they needed to be pressed in sequence. Pinky!
