I recently switched from Unity desktop to LXDE desktop (it's easy to install in Ubuntu with sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
.)
That's all good, but I'm irritated by a few keyboard and mouse shortcuts that are slightly different in LXDE vs Unity. These are:
| Action: | In Unity: | In LXDE: |
|----------------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------|
| Navigate workspaces | Ctrl-Alt-Arrow | Ctrl-Alt-Arrow |
| Navigate and take focused window | Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Arrow | Alt-Shift-Arrow ! |
| Mouse-drag to move a Window | Alt-LeftButton | Alt-LeftButton |
| Mouse-drag to resize a Window | Alt-MiddleButton | Alt-RightButton ! |
+----------------------------------+-----------------------+-------------------+
You can see how some of the actions have the same shortcut, while others have a different shortcut (!
), which is just irritating.
Since I'm moving from Unity to LXDE, I'd like to change the LXDE shortcuts to match Unity.
