Ctrl + enter to open a new window of an application on gnome
One I just discovered recently - in KDE, holding the Super Key & right mouse button lets you resize a window from anywhere so you don’t have to hunt around for the one corner pixel to resize it.
No idea if it works in Gnome or other DE’s, but might be worth a try!
On gnome super+left click allows you to move windows, by default.
You can also enable super+right click to resize with gnome tweaks. In my opinion this should be the default.

Can’t remember if it’s a default keybinding or if I changed it, but I use shift+meta+s to select a rectangle of the screen to copy. In KDE I have to select “copy” from the notification hamburger menu, Xfce I configured to automatically copy it to the clipboard. Then you can upload the selection to Discord and other apps with ctrl+v. Just meta+s copies the entire screen but I use that much less often.
Mouse gestures in Plasma.
Just draw a shape, make it mimic a keyboard shortcut, run a script, launch a program, whatever. Such a nice feature that I use constantly.
Control + s in Gnome to jump into the search bar. This works for all Gnome apps
- For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
- In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
- for a terminal ctl-alt-t
- alt-f2 to execute a command with history
Looks nice, what’s the advantage over something like rofi?
DE? What is that?

Jokes aside, I don’t fiddle with shortcuts unless its something that involves other command(s) instead of the one(s) I currently have on my
/usr/local/bindirectory.
