The default keyboard shortcuts for "tile window to the left" and "tile window to the right" are very unergonomic. I forgot what the combination of keys was but it was actually hard for me to press (or is it just my hand/keyboard issue?). Suggestion: since most users expecting this feature come from other DE's or OS's it may be a good idea to follow already established conventions.
AFAIK there are no default shortcuts for this. But other window managers (at least compiz) with this feature tend to use ctrl + alt + the appropriate key at the numpad. Would be only bad for laptop users without keypad.
Is this the right place to suggest to add the following shortcuts to the default configuration? -- snippet of xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml <channel name="xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" version="1.0"> <property name="xfwm4" type="empty"> <property name="default" type="empty"> <property name="<Super>KP_1" type="string" value="tile_down_left_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_2" type="string" value="tile_down_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_3" type="string" value="tile_down_right_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_4" type="string" value="tile_left_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_6" type="string" value="tile_right_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_7" type="string" value="tile_up_left_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_8" type="string" value="tile_up_key"/> <property name="<Super>KP_9" type="string" value="tile_up_right_key"/> </property> </property> </channel> -- Tile-left/right would then be Super-KP_4 and Super-KP_6, respectively. IMHO this might also be ok for notebook users, as often "Numpad-keys" can be done with "Fn" and a normal key. So "tile-left" might be something like "Super+Fn u" (or similar) for notebooks without keypad.
