I changed many shortcuts to my own liking, so this is not the default set of PaperWM.
- The Fn key changes ◀/▶/⯅/⯆ into Home/End/PgUp/PgDn but keeps the intuitive movement.
- PaperWM sets some of the Gnome Shell keys as well, and I changed some of those too.
  - Moving a window to the workspace left/right is effectively the same as moving it to the monitor left or right.
Scratch windows float on top of regular windows

Placing windows automatically¶

To place windows on a workspace, add a "winprop" via Settings.

Use Gnome Looking Glass to find the window wm_class: Alt+F2, then lg as command.

With a wildcard * on wm_class, it is possible to set (for instance) the default width for all new windows to for instance 50%.

Fixed number of desktops¶

In order to make placing windows and adding workspace settings work well, I've had to set the workspaces in Gnome to a fixed number. Otherwise, Gnome will just create new workspaces when needed: that creates an unstable sequence that does not keep the associated names.
