Most of +the time I use `META` plus one or two of the arrow keys to move windows quickly +to one half or one quarter of the screen. Plasma's advanced tiling manager +enables us to use layouts that are not defined by half or quarter of the screen +real estate. + +I keep forgetting how to use this, so this is my note to self: + +- Define layout: `META+T` +- Move window to predefined location: hold `SHIFT` while dragging the title bar + of a window with the mouse, or press `META`, klick anywhere into the window + and start dragging, _then_ while still holding `META`, additionally press + `SHIFT` to make the window snap to one of the predefined layout. + +Link:
