Default keys in window menu-Gnome Shell 3.14

Hi,

On any active window, hitting Alt+Space will show the window menu. This part is working on latest gnome Shell version too. But, in earlier versions, hitting 'c' after the window menu is shown by Alt+Space combination would close the window which is not working in Gnome Shell 3.14. Other default keys such as 'x' for maximize etc are not working either. Is this the default behaviour? If so, is there some seeting or some work around to get the old behaviour back?


Thanks,

Re: Default keys in window menu-Gnome Shell 3.14

I haven't found a way to get the shortcut keys back yet, but you can use alt+f4 for close, super+up / down for maximize, unmaximize. super+left / right for sticking to left / right side of monitor. (also once the alt+space menu is open arrow keys and enter work fine..)

hope this helps. let me know if you find a way to get the shortcut keys back.

I fail to understand why there were removed in the first place. I have been using them for so long that I find it difficult to adjust to the new shortcuts. Hope someone writes an extension or something to get the old behaviour back.

Thanks,

I really don't understand why these guys removed this good utils either. Besides there's no change log about this

Re: Default keys in window menu-Gnome Shell 3.14

window menu is managed by gnome-shell in 3.14, while previously i twas handled by gtk: http://worldofgnome.org/shell-is-now-ma … nus-sweet/
they probably missed this functionality during the transition.

you should open a bug for gnome about this

Re: Default keys in window menu-Gnome Shell 3.14

I have the same problem with GNOME 3.14 on Fedora 21. Thanks ooo for the explanation. I didn't see a bug report on this already, so I filed a bug for the window-management component of gnome-shell:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742470

Feel free to add any comments there.
