Move QT5 application to left or right on GNOME desktop
-
Most of the applications I use in Ubuntu 18.04 (GNOME desktop) respond to super+Left Arrow or super+Right Arrow to place the window on the left or right side. QT Creator, for example, works well with super+Up Arrow and super+Down Arrow.
QGIS, made with QT5 does not respond to these events.
I'm able to maximize or restore the size of QGIS with super+Up Arrow and super+Down Arrow, but not place it on the left or right.
Since it is a QT5 open source application, what can I do to make it able to move to the left or right with those standard keybindings?
I've already checked the
*.desktopfile, but there is nothing different from other applications, like QT Creator.Thank you!

Hi,
Do you get the same behaviour if you use an application built from the default template coming from Qt Creator ?
If so, there's likely something done by qgis that is responsible here.
Also, what version of qgis are you using ? How did you install it ?

Thank you for the feedback @SGaist
If I make an application with QT Creator, it behaves well. The problem is QGIS. I'm using QGIS compiled from master. Previous versions had the same problem.
I know that the problem is in QGIS, but I can't identify any kind of bindings/settings that prevents super+Left Arrow or super+Right Arrow to place the window on the left or right side.

Then you should contact the QGis folk directly, they will have a good understanding of what is going on internally in their library.
