You know those handy shortcuts in Windows where you use the Windows Key + Left or Right and the window you’re working in automatically snaps to the left or right? Well, they exist in Ubuntu Unity as well and it’s awesome!
Using your num pad:
Ctrl + Alt + 9 = top right (25%)
Ctrl + Alt + 8 = top half screen (50%)
Ctrl + Alt + 7 = top left (25%)
Ctrl + Alt + 6 = right half screen (50%)
Ctrl + Alt + 5 = (100%)
Ctrl + Alt + 4 = left half screen (50%)
Ctrl + Alt + 3 = bottom right (25%)
Ctrl + Alt + 2 = bottom half screen (50%)
Ctrl + Alt + 1 = bottom left (25%)
Ctrl + Alt + 0 = minimized
This was tested on 14.04, but I’ve read reports that this works from 13.04 upwards.
Enjoy!
Awesome, recently I am switching to Ubuntu from Windows and I missed the window’s shortcut for window snapping but now I am amazed of Ubuntu’s versatility, thanks
