Skidoo,
I agree it would be nicer for keys to be mapped so that they didn’t overlap and cause weird, unexpected things to happen. I also agree it would make sense to be able to see what is mapped to do what by which program, and be able to change it if you didn’t like it, if that program was easily configurable. Personally, I don’t like the Ctrl+0 to 9 mapping at all, and never use it unless I’m on a keyboard with no keypad, which I hate, but beggars can’t be choosers on free laptops or laptops won on bets, and I end up using an external keyboard on the one I have that is missing it. I actually do think the default keymapping should be the same across the automatically installed window managers where reasonable, but agree that it’s unwise to turn footguns on automatically or hook them to keys commonly used by other applications.
PS: yes, its not possible to make them all the same, especially when some have functions that others don’t. I like the turn them off by default, but make it easy for the user to find them, configure correctly and turn them on.
Dski,
My apologies for not reading your initial post better before replying. I was thinking you wre wanting to assign WinGrid to different keys that wouldn’t cause problems, but that wasn’t what you asked for. My mistake there. Ok, so you already turned WinGrid off. Unfortunately, WinGrid doesn’t have options to move the windows without resizing them. It resizes the Window to the “Grid”, and I guess that is why it has the name WinGrid. I looked at the JWM documents and I don’t see a way to programmably move a window to a corner with it, without using another program to do that. I guess you need another program capable of moving the windows without resizing them. IceWM has that built in, called WinArrange, but JWM does not.
