Meta+Q to close windows supremacy

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 7 months ago

Why would you have more than one window per workspace?

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 2 points 7 months ago

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

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 1 points 7 months ago

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

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 27 points 7 months ago

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

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 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.

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

That's the way.

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

bspwm gang but close enough

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Awesome gang, anyone?

[-] EqMinMax@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

sway the way

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 19 points 7 months ago

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

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 27 points 7 months ago

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

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Am I the only one still using Ctrl+w?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 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.

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 7 months ago

That already closes tabs tho

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 7 months ago

Where’s that “mod” key?

[-] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

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

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Well mod key can mean the ones around it

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

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 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.

[-] 737@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Crow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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

[-] wonderfulvoltaire@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I like the kde plastik window decoration

[-] Mio@feddit.nu 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.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

mod space (float window) tends to instantly solve that

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 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.

[-] nfsu2@feddit.cl 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.
