Shell: Resizing shortcuts are different depending on window location

Created on 30 Apr 2020  ·  1Comment  ·  Source: pop-os/shell

Should be consistent regardless of location

            Shortcut::new(
                "Increase Window Size",
                Event::ResizeWindowIncrease,
                Schema::Hardcoded(&["Shift", "→", "↓"]),
            ),
            Shortcut::new(
                "Decrease Window Size",
                Event::ResizeWindowDecrease,
                Schema::Hardcoded(&["Shift", "←", "↑"]),

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have the window resizing be based on the direction that the user wants to move the window border (e.g. Shift + direction always resizes the window in that direction if possible). I understand why it can make sense to have a consistent hotkey that will always "increase/decrease" the size of the window, but it feels really unnatural to use say Shift+Left and then have the left border of the window move to the right in order to "decrease" the size.
