I wondered, whether there is a key-stroke-combination like "WIN + Left-arrow" In Linux (openSUSE), which moves the active window to the right half of the current screen?

Thank you!

edit: The solution I found is: 1. Download "ctrlwm" from http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/ctrlwm?content=114565 2. Open the Control Panel of openSUSE, click on "Regional and Accessiblity", and click on "Keyboard shortcuts". 3. Add a shortcut with "meta + left" and point it to ctrlwm with the additional parameters "-z -u".

It depends on the window manager you're using, not your flavor of Linux. I'm assuming you use KDE on OpenSuse.

If you're running compiz, I understand it's quite easy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1325473

I see. Well, indeed I am using KDE. I gave "ctrlwm" a try, though did not yet fully understand of how to use it properly. The keyword of my problem seems to be "tiling window manager" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) – Peter Pablo Apr 13 '11 at 12:16
