Comment 0 for bug 1099277

We currently have a way to semi-maximise windows to the left and to the right of the screen.

It would be great to be able to semi-maximise windows to the bottom and to the top of the screen, in particular for people using square monitors, and for apps that require horizontal space to be readable.

Implementing this would probably bring the need to redefine keyboards shortcuts, as currently ctrl + super + left or right control the semi-maximisation, whereas ctrl + super + up or down controls respectively maximisation and restoring original window size.

This could for example be changed to:
- ctrl + super + arrows for 4 different semi-maximisations
- ctrl + shift + up or down for respectively maximising and restoring (and minimising, as it should already be the case as stated in the keyboard shortcuts overlay)
