Snap window to corner

  • 772

Using Ubuntu 12.04LTS precise. On my old laptop I could use CTRL+ALT+numpad to snap windows to corners. But my new laptop does not have a num pad on the keyboard. Is there an alternative shortcut? (Or indeed, anyway to snap a window to the corner?)

Edit: there is no option on my laptop to enable a numpad via a fn key by the way

unity

    Install compizconfig-settings-manager. Search for "compiz" in the Unity Dash, or start with ccsm from the command-line.

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    This windows will open. Type grid in "Filter" box and from right pane select "Grid" option.

    Then this window will open.

    Just click on each button (point 1) and then into "Edit <Key name>" window, choose Grab key combination and press your alternative key, then click Ok and enjoy

    But don't forget, read /!\ Warning /!\ and don't change nothing more!!
