in Ubuntu 18.04, how to resize windows by keyboard shortcuts?

  • 772

In the Ubuntu 16.04, I very appreciated resizing windows by Ctrl+Alt+Num shortcuts; e.g. Ctrl+Alt+7 resized a window into the top left quarter of the current screen. In the Ubuntu 18.04, only Ctrl+Alt+5 and Ctrl+Alt+0 works. I see a possibility to 'Add Custom Shortcut'. What commands should I use for the other Ctrl+Alt+Num shortcuts according to the Ubuntu 16.04? Thanks!

    You can achieve this in Ubuntu 18.04 using the GNOME extension Put Windows.

    Version 16.04 uses the Unity desktop and works in a different way.

    enter image description here

    If you are uncertain as to how to install GNOME extensions you can refer to this easy to follow guide

    When in use, left Win + 7,9,5,1,3 keys on the number pad will move the window to top left, top right, center, bottom left, bottom right respectively.
