Navigation and Hotkeys

Manjikaze is configured to enable efficient keyboard-based navigation and window management. This guide will help you learn the key shortcuts that will make you more productive.

Workspaces

Manjikaze is configured with 3 fixed workspaces by default. These workspaces allow you to organize your applications and tasks effectively across multiple virtual desktops.

Workspace Usage Strategies

You can use workspaces in various ways depending on your workflow:

• Project-based: Dedicate each workspace to a different project
• Task-based: Organize by activity type (coding, documentation, communication)
• Context-based: Separate work and reference materials (code editor in one workspace, documentation browser in another)

Workspace Navigation

Shortcut	Action
Super + 1	Switch to workspace 1
Super + 2	Switch to workspace 2
Super + 3	Switch to workspace 3

Application Shortcuts

Manjikaze provides quick shortcuts to launch and manage common applications:

Shortcut	Action
Super + W	Launch web browser
Super + E	Open file explorer (Nautilus)
Super + Space	Open application launcher

Window Management

Efficiently manage your windows with these shortcuts:

Shortcut	Action
Super + Up	Maximize window
Super + BackSpace	Begin window resize
Alt + F4	Close window
Alt + Tab	Switch between windows

Undecorate Extension

Manjikaze includes the Undecorate extension which allows you to remove window decorations:

• What it fixes: Applications like Cursor render with a double toolbar, creating wasted space
• How to use: Right-click the top toolbar of a window and select "Undecorate" from the menu
• Moving undecorated windows: Press Super + BackSpace to begin resize/move mode
• Better alternative: Use the Tactile tiling shortcuts (see Tiling documentation) for more efficient window management

Multi-Monitor Setup

Manjikaze is optimized for multi-monitor configurations:

• The dock appears at the bottom of each monitor
• Workspaces are isolated per monitor, allowing different workspaces on each screen
• The dash (app launcher) is configured to appear on each monitor independently

Clipboard Management

Access and manage your clipboard history with these shortcuts:

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl + F9	Show clipboard history
Ctrl + F10	Clear clipboard history
Ctrl + F11	Select previous clipboard history entry
Ctrl + F12	Select next clipboard history entry

For more details on clipboard features, see the Clipboard Indicator extension.

Screenshots

File Management

• List view by default
• Smaller icon size for more compact viewing
• Folders sorted before files
• Webdev folder bookmark automatically added

To navigate quickly to your development directory:

1. Press Super + E to open Nautilus
