Hi there!
I saw that it's possible to do "Windows-like" window management on any desktop environment (in my case: XFCE) using xdotool. For example, the command
xdotool getactivewindow windowsize 50% 100% && xdotool getactivewindow windowmove 0 0 would correspond to META+LEFT on Windows 7 or on Cinnamon.
Unfortunately, this does not work on maximized windows. Also, I cannot maximise a window (just scale it to 100% which is not the same).
I'm sure many people have had wishes for the same feature. Therefore, there must be a highly optimized sh script out there somewhere that does that and only the keystrokes have to be mapped to it.
However, I don't know what to google for (there's no precies name for "Meta-Window-Moving-like-in-Windows-7").
Can anyone suggest such a script or an alternative with similar behaviour working on XFCE?
Cheers,
Kalsan
