Shortcut for displaying 2 windows?

Lubuntu Support

Hi,

I just found out that this very topic seems to have been discussed already (How to snap windows? - #3 by marinaraman ).

Well, editing ~./config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml would certainly be an option for me.

That uses the Windows and arrow keys to do the dirty work, but in 19.04+, you’ll run into conflicts with lxqt-globalkeys using the key to open the menu, so either disable that, reconfigure that, or use something other than the Windows key here.

I wouldn´t insist on using the WIN key and I´d be happy with the combination of e.g. “B plus ARROW LEFT” .

What I don´t quite understand in the post:

<keybind key="W-Left">
    <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
    <action name="MaximizeVert"/>
    <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>50%</width>
    </action>
    <action name="MoveToEdge"><direction>west</direction></action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Right">
    <action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
    <action name="MaximizeVert"/>
    <action name="MoveResizeTo">
        <width>50%</width>
    </action>
    <action name="MoveToEdge"><direction>east</direction></action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Down">
   <action name="Unmaximize"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Up">
   <action name="Maximize"/>
</keybind>

is what keybind key=“W-Left” means. Does this refer to the WIN-key or to the “W”-key? In my case I´d like to use the “B”-key.

Thanks in advance.
Greetings.
