  • Meta+arrow keys to manage windows: left or right to get a split, up to maximize.

    Meta+pgup/pgdn to switch workspaces. Add shift to move the current window with you.

    Those are the main ones I use all the time, but there’s a full list (some that aren’t bound by default) in the settings. I would probably remap pgup and pgdn to something closer to my fingers on a regular keyboard, but I use an ergo split 60% so I already have those keys on my home row.

    Tbh GNOME feels best with a combo of mouse and keyboard, like Meta+mousewheel scrolling lets you switch workspaces very smoothly. And I think I had to map this myself, but I use right click drag + Meta to resize windows dynamically. But the above keys let me do 90% of what I want to with windows.

    If you really want a fully keyboard-driven window management scheme you should probably check out a standalone window manager. I love sway personally.
