Default "select window right" hotkey conflicts with gnome "Lock screen" hotkey #40

Closed nodefourtytwo closed 4 years ago

nodefourtytwo commented 4 years ago

The extension defaults to "Super+L" to select the window on the right. Gnome defaults (I think) to "Super + L" to lock the screen. It took me a very long time to find out why I could not lock my session anymore.

The default for select window to the left is also in conflict with gnome defaults (Super+H). At least the readme should include something about gnome defaults conflicts.

Do you think the best option is to disable the gnome defaults? Or pick different defaults? These are the bindings most likely used by people coming from i3 or sway.

nodefourtytwo commented 4 years ago

I think that, since it's a Gnome extension, it should respect Gnome defaults. You make a point though that i3 and sway users would want it that way. IMHO, if you decide to keep it as it is, @arvids proposition to add a warning in the readme is fine.

I think Super+Left and Super+Right are also gnome defaults for window split, right?

arvids commented 4 years ago

Super+Up and Super+Down as well.

The quickest solution is to document it in the readme, a "cooler" solution can come later.

My apologies for waking a closed issue, but this appeared to be the only appropriate place to continue this conversation.

I use the standard Gnome hot keys all the time, some of which conflict with TidalWM defaults. The following hot keys are a bit more ergonomic. They don't conflict with anything else, either. In which case, these defaults seem to address the initial issue I had too:

Float Window: <Ctrl><Super>f Rotate Windows: <Ctrl><Super>r Increase Horizontal Split: <Ctrl><Super>Right Decreased Horizontal Split: <Ctrl><Super>Left Increase Vertical Split: <Ctrl><Super>Up Decrease Vertical Split: <Ctrl><Super>Down Select Window Above: <Ctrl><Super>k Select Window Below: <Ctrl><Super>j Select Window Left: <Ctrl><Super>h Select Window Right: <Ctrl><Super>l
