** Description changed:
The current key binding for window placement in Unity is`Ctl-Alt-[Numpad
0-9]`. This is great with a full keyboard, but on notebooks and netbooks
the numpad is absent, so there is no keyboard support for tiling.
Ideally, additional bindings should be added for the most common window
placements.
+
+
+ -----------------------------------------------------
+
+ Desired Solution:
+
+ Implement the following additional keybindings for window management
+
+ If a window is in the restored state:
+ - `Super-up` = Maximize the active window
+ - `Super-down` = Minimize the active window
+ - `Super-left = Semi-maximise the active window to the left
+ - `Super-right = Semi-maximise the active window to the right
+
+ If a window is in the maximised or semi-maximised state:
+ - `Super-up` = Maximize the active window (if currently maximised do nothing)
+ - `Super-down` = Restore the active window
+ - `Super-left = Semi-maximise the active window to the left (if currently
semi-maximised to the left do nothing)
+ - `Super-right = Semi-maximise the active window to the right (if currently
semi-maximised to the right do nothing)
