Work with floating windows: move_floating and resize_floating

YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skT9CZJ7V4Y Old config file: https://github.com/bavardage/qtile/blob/master/examples/config/bavardage-config.py

I tried the block from the config:

for key, x, y in [("Left", -10, 0), 
                  ("Right", 10, 0), 
                  ("Up", 0, -10),
                  ("Down", 0, 10)]:
    keys.append(Key([modkey, "control"], key, lazy.window.move_floating(x, y)))
    keys.append(Key([modkey, "shift"], key, lazy.window.resize_floating(x, y)))
    keys.append(Key([modkey, "mod1"], key, lazy.window.move_to_screen_edge(key)))

but doesn’t work. The window.move_to_screen_edge function doesn’t exists also.

How can I use this pair of functions for this kind of window manipulation with keyboard?

The reason of those empty arguments is because cmd_set_position need them, and that this function and the ones you’re trying to use are meant to be called at the same place and thus prepared the same way: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/v0.14.2/libqtile/core/manager.py#L1072

I’m about to push a commit that will modify cmd_set_position so that we leverage #1305, that made the coordinates of the mouse always available, so that we can remove those useless arguments all around. 👍
