Is there a script/shortcut available to easily swap all windows from the first monitor to the second monitor; and vice versa? For example the script would bind to the keyboard combination CTRL+W; and pressing this keyboard combination will swap all window between monitors.
Hey there
While I don’t know of any scripts I do know a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that might help.
There are keyboard shortcuts that you can use thou they only shift one at a time, take some standard KDE tools and it makes them work here very well, this what has evolved on my box.
Shortcuts - Kwin - in search box type in window
scroll down to
Window to screen 0 I use Meta+0
Window to screen 1 I use Meta+1
IF you want to use the mouse without clicking then try this
Window Management - Focus - Focus Follows Mouse
I’ve got checked Raise on Hover
Then simply hover mouse over window and use the appropriate move Window to Screen shortcut.
Then later added now I also use this so I don’t have to move the mouse
go back to
Shortcuts - Kwin - in search box type in window
scroll down to
Switch to Window Above I use Meta+Alt+Up (arrow)
Switch to Window Below I use Meta+Alt+Down (arrow)
Switch to Window Left I use Meta+Alt+Left (arrow)
Switch to Window Right I use Meta+Alt+Right (arrow)
This way there is focus follows mouse , control the window under focus use keys , move window to other screen using keys.
Keyboard shortcuts are better than clicking on and dragging windows around.
Now if I could make the windows behave same as Layers in Gimp (selectively linked) Ahh Bliss.
Will create a new action called “Switch the screen to all windows”, whose default shortcut is Meta+Shift+P
When activated, all windows will move to the next screen.
