Ubuntu 18.04 - move QT5 application to left or right
Most of the applications I use in Ubuntu 18.04 respond to super+Left Arrow or super+Right Arrow to place the window on the left or right side, as explained in Ubuntu 18.04 - move a window left-right in the same workspace
But I have one application I love, QGIS, made with QT5 that does not respond to these events.
I'm able to maximize or restore the size of QGIS with super+Up Arrow and super+Down Arrow, but not place it on the left or right.
Since it is a QT5 open source application, what can I do to make it able to move to the left or right with those standard keybindings?
Do I just need to change something in the *.desktop archive or do I have to change something in the application properties or build script?

I have featherpad and qterminal, both qt5 apps, and they obey Super+Left and Super+Right as you describe. So I'm guessing it's something specific to QGIS. Do you have these qt5 apps or any other qt5 app on your system to check?

Good point @dk-bose. In fact, I haveQT Creatorinstalled and it works file with Super+left and Super+right. It is built upon QT 5.x, the same as QGIS. I've checked both .desktop files and they look like the same. It is something specific to the QGIS application.
