    Meta+Q to close windows supremacy

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Meta+shift+q to close all windows in focused workspace Clan. :)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Why would you have more than one window per workspace?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    What? Are you telling me that you use one window per workspace?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I have one with 2, but I rarely need to close them at the same time, and when I do, I just hit Meta+Q twice.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    ah well, I just close all windows at once very rarely anyway but its useful.

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    mod+shift+q so you wouldn't close hours of work by accident (e.g. when typing other mod+_ keybinds)

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

    I agree its safer, but is so unconvinient and slower when you are opening and closing back and forth. Because of it I have left most of the left side of the keyboard keybindless. I guess you have to compromise. Actually come to think of it, most settings in a PC workflow are compromised.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    That's the way.

    Though you could also use shift to discern between sigterm and sigkill.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

    Awesome gang, anyone?

    [–] EqMinMax 1 points 7 months ago

    sway the way

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Why move the mouse when you have your hands over the keyboard anyway

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

    Because that's where the clit-mouse is, duh.

    Am I the only one still using Ctrl+w?

    [–] TrickDacy 7 points 7 months ago

    No you aren't and I've never heard of most of these shortcut keys

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

    When I was using Gmome I also used that for some time but I can't remember why I made the change to "meta+q" for some reason it was inconvenient.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    That already closes tabs tho

    Where’s that “mod” key?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    If someone is asking what the “mod” key is telling them that it’s the “super” key probably won’t help them much. On most keyboards it’s bound to the windows key

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    Well mod key can mean the ones around it

    And while some keyboards have a Windows logo there, some don’t

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

    Mod 1-4 (or 5 not sure...) Are the modifier keys, like Alt, Ctrl, etc... In this case Mod is the Super Key or Meta Key.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

    On my laptop where I do most of my work I have Ctrl+q but on my desktop I play silly little computergames on I changed it to ALT+q after accidentally closing one of the aforementioned games

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

    mod? meta? super? alt? crtl? AltGr?

    [–] wonderfulvoltaire 2 points 7 months ago

    I like the kde plastik window decoration

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

    Alt+back or forward on mouse

    I don't know, I think it's quite buggy using a tiling window manager. App dialog window sometimes end up the size of applications. But with a lot of config, I guess you can get a smooth system.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

    mod space (float window) tends to instantly solve that

    [–] NOPper 6 points 7 months ago

    And if it annoys you enough it's one line in your config to fix forever. I love i3 so much.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

    Its not buggy, every app its responsible of placing window parameter to comunicate with the window manager, the problem is developers make apps for regular DE with floating WMs. And yes as you said a little reaserch and some config can fix it.
