Impossible to use in a dual monitor setup #9

It works like a charm but it's impossible to disable the fullscreen on a fullscreened app at the second monitor. There's simply is no button for it.

Any fullscreen application, or just one application? Also what OS and version of Gnome are you using?

I presume this means that, on the primary monitor, you can use the Gnome bar as if it were the title bar to move a MaximusTwo-maximized window (I'm not sure if I've described that technically right, but that's how it feels), but on the second screen there's nowhere up there to put the mouse.

There are a few solutions to this, that perhaps ought to be documented (better?):

  1. Alt-Space opens the window menu, which has the unmaximise option.
  2. Super-Down unmaximizes.
  3. Super-mouse-drag allows to grab and move a window from any point.
  4. Alt-F7 allows the window to be moved, even maximized.

@a-m-s, yes thats the problem.

Super-mouse-drag allows to grab and move a window from any point.

Thats an awsome keybind :)

Note there are tonnes of options in keyboard settings for window controls as well: Gnome keyboard settings screenshot

Would an option to leave the titlebar if the window is not on the primary monitor help? (I don't yet know how this could be implemented, buts its a idea)
