Description Naxdy 2023-03-18 09:20:39 UTC

SUMMARY
Currently, the shortcut for mouse marking is Meta+Shift, and cannot be changed. The hotkey to custom tile a window while dragging is Shift, which again cannot be changed.

This results in a collision of hotkeys, when a user is using the Meta key to drag a window by clicking anywhere, and is attempting to custom tile it. If the Mouse Mark effect is also activated at the same time, this will result in red streaks all over the screen whenever the user is using Meta+Shift to custom tile a window.

SOLUTION
1. Change the Mouse Mark shortcut from Meta+Shift to something else (I propose Meta+Control).
2. Allow the user to customize both the custom tiling hotkey, as well as the Mouse Mark shortcut.

We don't want to throw in some settings, we need to fix it for users out-of-the-box.

Then I see solution 1 as the only viable option.

Though I'm not sure if Meta+Control would incur any other collisions.
