There are already shortcuts for tiling to the left/right/up/down. Xfce 4.12 introduced tiling to quarters. It would be greate to assign custom shortcuts for that as well.
I agree but I am curious about what the default (if any) commands should be. I tried CTRL+ALT+<arrow_key> but it's a little funky. Any suggestions?
Created attachment 6054 corner_tiling_default_shortcuts Corner tiling shortcuts can now be customized from settings->window manager->keyboard where all the other shortcuts are. Added defaults CTRL+ALT+<arrow_key> where UP: top-right, DOWN: bottom-left, LEFT: top-left, RIGHT: bottom-right The defaults feel weird so I may leave them blank.
Oh thank you very much for adding it so quickly! I use Super+Left/Right for tiling to the left or right. If this configuration feels comfortable for you too, please feel free to adapt it. I could imagine to use quater tiling by pressing the alternative key too, so: Super+Alt+Left/Top/Right/Bottom would tile the left bottom/left top/right top/right bottom. I will file a new bug report for the rest of my comment since it does not meet the bug description here: While typing this it came to my mind that it would be greate to maximize or minimize a window by pressing Super+Top/Bottom. Though there's an option for "filling a window" which works pretty good but only as long as the window has not been tiled right before. Then it simply won't maximize. To minimize an active (not rolling it up) I could not find any shortcut. Kind regards
Probably it's the best to leave the defaults blank. I for example use CTRL+ALt + <Arrow_Key> to switch between my workspaces.

I should probably be more clear: I changed it so the option to change the shortcut for the 4 quarter-tiling positions is available to the user in Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard as previously only the regular 4 tiling options were available to change via GUI. I *think* this was already changed in the newest update? I made the changes in "xfce-shortcuts-xfwm4.c" file as well as the xml file containing the shortcuts (those were just for my own personal use, though). Not sure if this is the correct way to go about it, so any guidance would be of help.
In Openbox I normally default all the tiling options to Super+NumpadKey for placement, for example: Super+ Numpad7 = Top Left Numpad8 = Top Numpad9 = Top Right Numpad4 = Left Numpad5 = Maximize Numpad6 = Right Numpad1 = Bottom Left Numpad2 = Bottom Numpad3 = Bottom Right Numpad0 = Minimize I'm not aware of any conflicts with the above scheme. But it does break from the Super+Arrow system that Gnome and Windows have adopted.
