        # UltrawideWindows

Expose useful shortcuts to manage windows in a ultrawide monitor and, in general, in a high resolution monitor.

This solution is intended to be an easy-to-use middleground between the default behaviour and the tiling approach.

# Installation

```bash

$ git clone [email protected]:lucmos/UltrawideWindows.git

$ cd UltrawideWindows

$ ./scripts/update.sh

```

# Usage

Set the desired shortcuts under `System Settings > Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts > KWin`.

My suggestion is to use the following configuration:

| Shortcuts                            | Commands in 3x2 grid                                     |

##### Notes

The standard behaviour of going to the previous position if the window is already in the correct position causes conflicts.

Using only `Ultrawide` shortcuts, avoids these conflicts. However:

* The animations are lost.

* If maximized, a window does not go back to the previous position when maximizing it again. If for you it is a must-have, the default `maximize` doesn't work so bad.
