(Get the code!)
12.04 has been a marvelous upgrade for me -- except for this regression. Rapidly pulling windows side-by-side saved my much time as a software developer on a large monitor. Multiple key presses changing sizes meant that I could quickly give my text editor a little more width, and my terminal a little less.
Breaking the previous ctrl+alt+4/6 behaviour makes the rest of the resizing/moving numberpad shortcuts much less useful too, as the principle of least surprise has been violated pretty badly:
"Use ctrl+alt+numpad to move and resize windows. Up, down, top-right, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-left, and middle. All directions! It's easy!
Except for left or right. In that case you need to use the arrow keys instead. Oh, and don't use the control key anymore, use the super key this time. What's the super key you say? Ah, well..."
