[help needed] Change default keybindings so they don't clash with default KDE keybindings
I'll remove most default keybindings, leaving them to the user to assign. I want to have default keybindings for moving focus and for moving windows. I want the default keybindings to not clash with default KDE keybindings, so they work out-of-the-box. I'd prefer the default keybindings to mirror another window manager's default keybindings. I'd prefer to use the Meta key as the main modifier, because it's usually not used by applications.
I'll list the options I see along with their problems.
Current defaults
- Move focus with Meta+W,S,A,D
- Move windows with Meta+Shift+W,S,A,D
Problems:
- Many clashes with default KDE keybindings, for example Meta+D for Show Desktop
Arrow keys
- Move focus with Meta+Up,Down,Left,Right
- Move windows with Meta+Shift+Up,Down,Left,Right
Problems:
- Many clashes with default KDE keybindings, for example Meta+Right for Quick Tile Window to the Right
i3-style
- Move focus with Meta+J,K,L,;
- Move windows Meta+Shift+J,K,L,;
Problems:
- The ; key is in different positions on different keyboard layouts
- Meta+L clashes with KDE's Lock Session
PaperWM-style next/previous
- Move focus with Meta+. and Meta+,
- Move windows with Meta+Shift+. and Meta+Shift+,
Problems:
- Meta+. clashes with KDE's Launch Emoji Selector
Other suggestions
If you have a suggestion that doesn't clash with default KDE keybindings and is based on another window manager's default keybindings or makes particularly good sense, please share it.
