Linux: Half-Maximize Applications like in Windows
Submitted by Lars Windolf on 11. July 2012 - 21:25.
There is a really useful short-cut in Windows which allows you to align a window to the left or the right of a screen. This way you can use your 16:9 wide screen efficiently using keyboard without any mouse resizing.
This is possible on Ubuntu Unity, GNOME, KDE and XFCE too!
Just with different mechanisms...
| OS | Half Maximize Left | Half Maximize Right |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | [Windows]+[Left] | [Windows]+[Right] |
| Ubuntu Unity | [Ctrl]+[Windows]+[Left] | [Ctrl]+[Windows]+[Right] |
| GNOME + Compiz Grid plugin | Drag to left border | Drag to right border |
| GNOME/XFCE/KDE + Brightside | Drag to configured edge | Drag to configured edge |
