You can access the overview using the Super/Windows/Command key on your keyboard, or using the hot corner at the top-left. You can also use the Super + Tab key to get a list of running applications and switch between them, or between every window. > So, a quick idea : now that notifications have moved away, why not put > a permanent dock in the bottom of the screen (like OS X or something > like that) ? What prevents you from installing a dock utility? I mean, there are various utilities, let alone Shell extensions, that expose a dock already. What would be gained in having a dock always visible on the desktop, except MacOS doing that? > I know that extensions can just do that, but it could be a good move > to win back desktop users (and distributions). While I think we can discuss whether the presence of a dock could ensure gaining users, I also don't think GNOME needs to "win back" users in the first place. I doubt not having a dock is the only determining factor in people choosing a specific environment or another.
