Dan- 
I think it would be great if you could attach a modifier key to hotcorners. So 
the user could choose to have a hotcorner activate only if he were holding 
CTRL, or whatever.

Hey Dane,

I think there's already a bug report for that :) You might want to check and 
then add yourself as affected.

Craig,

As mentioned before, I think there are a few solutions we should make available 
in addition to the keyboard shortcuts: a multitouch gesture (not yet 
implemented), a dock shortcut (also not implemented), and hotcorners 
(implemented). I personally use the hotcorners and I think they work really 
well.

I don't think however that we should ship any hotcorners enabled by default. 
For people that don't understand what hot corners are, having one activate is 
incredible disorienting. But I think with the new Desktop plug, it's relatively 
easy to configure.

This brings up another annoyance that I have seen in my use of elementary.  
When I use Luna, I use it on a laptop.  I like to perform most of my actions 
using the keyboard if I can.  However, when I use the "expose all windows" 
shortcut [Super + w], I have to move my hand to the touchpad/mouse in order to 
select the window I want.

I believe there should be an easy way (arrow keys, or the like) to select the 
window I want and then press enter/space/something to bring it to the front.  I 
haven't discovered anything for it yet, unless you guys snuck it into a newer 
daily image.

If everyone agrees, I can open a bug for it.  Sorry for adding yet another 
thing to the list.

For power users there's EasyStroke, but I doubt we'll ship that by default. 
Multitouch should also help on some machines.

Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop machine 
(which I haven't used in over a year), I've noticed a real irritation when 
trying to switch workspaces while one hand is on the mouse--the user has to 
take a hand off the mouse, put both hands on the keyboard (many keyboards don't 
have a super key near the arrow keys), activate the workspace switching motion, 
and then return their hand to their mouse to continue working. This isn't as 
big a problem on a laptop as most laptops have semi-decent trackpads right 
below the keyboard; however, on a typical desktop, this is a real irritation.

Under older versions of Ubuntu (the ones that used the compiz cube by default) 
I liked being able to hold ctrl+alt and then click/drag to change workspaces; 
however, that still requires moving one hand to the keyboard which still feels 
tedious if your hand isn't there already. I propose coming up with a solution. 
It may not seem like a big deal, but if you're like me (having one application 
open per workspace) this can be a real annoyance.

Thoughts?
