Hotkeys for tiling windows

Thu Dec 19, 2013 4:31 pm
Hello,

I'd like to tile my windows using Ctrl+Meta+ArrowsKeys. It can be adjusted in System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> KDE component: KWin.

Now, my problem is, that I can't assign more than one arrow for an action. I'd like to tile to the left on hitting Ctrl+Meta+Left and tile to the bottom-left on hitting Ctrl+Meta+Down+Left.

Is there any way this can be accomplished? By hitting the Down-Arrow before hitting Left this command would at least be unambiguous. In addition, I'd like to assign maximizing a window on hitting Ctrl+Meta+Up+Down.

And another thing: When I hit a button to change the tiling of a window, it is first restored to normal and not tiled until I press the shortcut again. Can I stop KWin from doing so? That is, make KWin tile to the position immediately on hitting the shortcut button.

Thanks for you help in advance,

While QKeySequence supports emacs style shortcuts, it seems KShortcut was never adatpted to that feature addition.
The KWin behavior seems like a bug, filed:
