WISHLIST-Make MOD+LEFT|RIGHT great

[Daniel LaSalle]

Dear Santa,

This year I have been augmenting my TTY7 keyboard skillz and in that respect the MOD+arrow key resizing capabilities.

As we know pressing MOD+right arrow shall flawlessly redraw the currently selected window into half of the right side of the screen.

Based on my user expertise each and every time I invoke it I always always always end up having to ALT+TAB to another window that I will then MOD+left arrow to complement it. And so that I can see both windows simultaneously.

My wish for this year is to automate the ALT+TAB part yet I have to ask if this a X feature or if it's a MATE feature or ...? In that respect this as a xorg bug.

But back to the problem: Redmond has got this feature implemented already on their end. From our end it just currently looks like it's halfway implemented. If not made a default behavior then for sure there should be a way to allow the automated resizing of a 2nd screen once any combination of the MOD+arrow keys will have been typed.

Cheers,

'lil Dan

PS: by "MOD" I mean the "windoze key" AKA MOD4?
