Maximizing Windows Horizontally and Vertically in GNOME
One of the things I lamented, moving from KDE to GNOME was the fact I could maximize my windows how I wanted to in KDE. In KDE, a right click would maximize the window horizontally, and a middle click vertically. I searched for a way to do this in GNOME, reading and asking. No dice.
I wanted to set my minimize all windows keyboard shortcut to something other than CTRL+ALT+D. By pure chance, I stumbled upon an option to set up a keyboard shortcut for the above. Hurrah! Now CTRL+Right Arrow maximizes horizontally, and CTRL+Up Arrow maximizes vertically. The world is sane again.

I've decided that you are potentially one of the smartest people in the world since I can't understand one thing that you are talking about. Sounds like you are having fun though.
You made me laugh. I reread the entry and realised that if you don't use Linux it was probably nonsense. I used to play with Linux a lot (since Uni), but the past few years I just used it to do things. I had forgotten how much fun it can be to just hack something to do what you want to do. So that's why I've gotten a bit excited about this new Linux install, Ubuntu (which you should try if you're ever going to try Linux).
