I love and I'm so used to the ALT+Mouse to move a window and SHIFT+Mouse to resize evenly shortcuts that Unity has, but now I'm thinking on moving to Gnome and I am not able to find those gestures in there.

Is there a way to add them to Gnome?

Thank you in advance.

  • If you are thinking of moving of moving from Unity to Gnome there are more significant changes to worry about. Out of curiosity what are the features of Gnome you covet? – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jun 15 '19 at 23:24
  • There's no specific feature at all, I just like more how default Gnome looks and feels. I know that I can customize Unity with themes, but currently I'm feeling more comfortable on Gnome. – juancarrizo Jun 15 '19 at 23:29
  • Oh well in that case I've upgraded 16.04 unity to 18.04 gnome many times and played with it. You can do it too in a painless fashion: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028604/bash-script-to-backkup-clone-ubuntu-to-another-partition/1028605#1028605 It's just after using it for a few weeks I just fall back to the original is all. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jun 15 '19 at 23:32
  • I think that we are not in the same channel. I don't plan to copy any data/programs to anywhere. I'm already on a Gnome fresh install and I just want to know if there is a way to add the above shortcuts that default ubuntu-unity-desktop has.

    The ALT+Mouse to move a window without going all the way up to the toolbar and SHIFT+Mouse to resize a window on both sides evenly.

  • The "ALT+Mouse" feature is present in GNOME. I don't remember correctly, but it might be SUPER instead of ALT by default. In that case it can be changed to ALT easily. Not sure about the"SHIFT+Mouse" feature though. – pomsky Jun 15 '19 at 23:52

    You're right. Gnome uses Super instead of Alt, and it can be easily "reverted" using Gnome Tweaks. Still can't find SHIFT+Mouse, tho. Thank you so much! – juancarrizo Jun 16 '19 at 00:01
