To quote https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/423938: ''' The windows in Gnome can't be minimized, maximized and closed by keyboard commands. That's enervating and makes working speed drop down. Gnome window manager already uses Alt + Tab to switch between running applications. This should be enhanced! I suggest: * close activated window: Alt + Esc (immediate some keystrokes: restart closed application in some former position) * minimize activated window: Alt + F1 (immediate some keystrokes: maximize in former position) * activated window to the half left side: Alt + 1 * activated window to the half right side: Alt + 2 You work so much faster by using keyboard commands. The better you know your desktop and your main applications the more you use keyboard commands. This feature would enhance Gnome usability! '''
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you still use metacity and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
