  I agree. I fear it might be too niche, but on the other hand, this might make Plasma more interesting for gamers.

  Yes, this sort of keyboard shortcut must be decided on a later date, me thinks.
  My bad though: I mentioned it makes sense, but this statement is empty without justification. I was envisioning something like:
  
  - Meta+arrow = snapping windows
  - Meta+Ctrl+arrow = switch to VD (because it changes where you start managing windows)
  - Meta+Shift+arrow = move window between screens (because the window gets transferred)
  - Meta+Alt+arrow = change focus between windows (because it changes their state)
  
  This should be discussed and counterpoints should be made though. For instance:
  
  > Also I don't like overloading the arrow keys with functionality such that you need to remember unrelated modifier keys for when does it what.
  
  This is my fear as well.
