 		 Keyboard Shortcuts to Move Windows (LXQt)

Note: Since Lubuntu 20.04, LXQt is the default session manager.

Keyboard shortcuts are available via Preferences > LXQt Settings > Shortcut Keys.

You can assign a shorcut to call a script.

Below is the script that moves or resizes a window.
It relies on wmctrl, and xwininfo.
1.     
Install wmctrl
sudo apt install wmctrl
2.      
Download this script  wmove.sh (right-click and save-link-as, to somewhere.
Alternatively, you can view, copy and paste the script here. Be sure to rename your file as wmove.sh.

Put this script somewhere where it can be found and executed, e.g /usr/local/bin/wmove.sh
 and make it executable.
You can test the script inside a terminal. e.g wmove.sh moveup
and the terminal should move up a tenth of it's height.
3.
Enter these shortcuts to call the script wmove.sh
Preferences > LXQt Settings > Shortcut Keys.
