the windows button + arrow keys to handle the size of the windows. Windows + left puts the windows to the left, then windows + right puts it to the right, then windows + right + left or windows + left + right restores down, windows + up restores up and windows + down minimizes the window.

Does that work in linux the same way?

It's a WINDOWS key, remember? not a Linux key!

Well, the key still exists on most keyboards, doesn't it? xD

It's true, although folks at Ubuntu would want to change the key name for linux : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21004/

Yes, I can set each of those key combinations (and many more) to do whatever I want. That way, I'm not stuck with default 2 or 3 key shortcuts. For example, just hitting the super key swaps windows. It's so much easier than alt+tab!
Edit:

Oh God, here we go. Now you've just gone and lost whatever credibility you had left.

"ugly unfunctionable winDoze"
a) it's not ugly, it's a user interface. And not a bad looking one at that. It's perfectly funtional.
b) unfunctionable is not a word.
c) ... winDoze... really?

Please someone, close this.

Ok, let's just agree that I'm right and you're wrong, and go our separate ways. I tried Linux on here. Let's just say that after too long pissing about with Linux trying to get it to work, and then not even 5 minutes learning how to use the Windows recovery console later, I'm exactly where I started. And pretty ok with that.

And no, I didn't get my analogy wrong at all. Please do not wink at me when you are not female or hot. "kthxbai"

One click method? Sounds like the Windows taskbar... It's blanket statements from you saying it's easier when you're wrong that have turned this in to an Internet Argument™ , and for that reason, I'm out.

How many times to you have to say you're done with this before you actually quit??? It seems you're more hooked on this thread than you're willing to admit.:naughty:

So, for all the posts people have had to make since you started making pointless criticisms & quibbling about vigge_sWe's rocketdock, we have basically concluded what? That Windows can perfectly well manage to display its dock in a multitude of different ways, just as Linux can?

Thanks for wasting our time with this.

Well, it would seem that you write so much rubbish, that people keep feeling obliged to come back, if only to get the "facts" corrected.

I've finally figured out why you called yourself ichwar : it's a typo for ItchWar.

You're just like an annoying itch that we know we really mustn't scratch, but just can't help ourselves from going to war with it! ;)

No. You obviously miss my point that linux can handle the dock much better than windos can.

Thanks for wasting our time with this.

Anytime.

Well, if that's the way to keep them coming back, it does work quite well, now doesn't it?!

lol. So do you seriously know why I picked ichwar? Or is the secret destroyed with the leaving of Mitch?

Would you have believed when you started this thread that you would get 178+ posts out of it?!!

And no, I haven't missed your point claiming that linux can handle the dock much better than windows can, because your point hasn't been proven, & thus can be ignored (as can all your other points).

To say the truth: no. Good work guys, keep it up!

Hmmm, should I yell at you? Or tell you to back and reread this thread? Or force you to try it your self to see how superior it is? Or just let you continue on in the error of your ways? I really don't know what step to take next.

[zen-r]

.. I really don't know what step to take next.

Would you like a suggestion? :thefinger
