Using BionicPup64, version 8. I have setup to move an app to R or L half of screen by using JWMDesk Manager snap function. However I would like to see if it is possible using a keystroke combination (e.g. Ctrl-R arrow) to do the same...

I have set keyboardshortcuts in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal to:
Code: Select all
<Key mask="4" key="Left">maxleft</Key>
<Key mask="4" key="Right">maxright</Key>
where
mask="4" is my
keycode 115 = Super_L in /root/.Xmodmap
What it does:
Left Windowskey + (Arrow)Left maximizes active Window to left half of Desktop, left Windodwskey + (Arrow)Right maximize active Window to right half of Desktop.
If you change the
"mask=" to
"C", it should behave as you suggested...

Wow, I'm so out of the loop - didn't realise jwm supports aero snap now. Does it snap to corners or just sides?
I
see what you want is possible if you just edit the jwm config to add key bindings for these actions:
Code: Select all
maxtop Maximize window to the top half of the screen.
maxbottom Maximize window to the bottom half of the screen.
maxleft Maximize window to the left half of the screen.
maxright Maximize window to the right half of the screen.
But have a look first - there may already be key bindings for them.
Or for other methods (e.g. other window managers, or snapping to corners) see

I actually had this thread as solved in BionicPup64, now I am on Precise-Lite on a 32bit laptop.
Modifying jwmrc-personal now does not work. any help?
thanks

Is it actually included by the main jwm config file?
Do other changes in it work?
What do you get if you run `jwm -p` in a terminal?

maxleft and maxright are not supported in the JWM version used by Precise.
Try to change the binary /usr/bin/jwm with a newer version (those found in newer 32bit Puppies may work).
