Be aware that Super+Up, Super+Left, and Super+Right work for maximize, |
| 10 |
mazimize to the left, and maximize to the right. |

Basically, GNOME Shell treats the Super key as special, and sometimes |
| 31 |
shortcuts binded to it fail. It is a bug, however, and devs are |
| 32 |
discussing how to handle it. In the mean time, may I recommend trying: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Ctrl+Alt+e -> Emacs |
| 35 |
Ctrl+Alt+t -> Terminal |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It is not optimal, and the bug should be fixed. But it has a workaround. |
