Hi,
I will discuss some behaviours that came to my little brain tonight :*). A lot
of eye candy features are arriving on my desktop with E17 though. But some
interesting keybindings could improve our desktop E xperience...
It would be smart to act on desktop with only a few key strokes:
* holding a special keybinding MOD+backspace for example it would be nice to
reduce the size of a maximized/fullscreen windows by 15/20% to allow you next
clic/action to reach your desktop or to see your on screen indicators (mail,
network, cpu, ...) without interfering with the window's application - hanging
the special key would release the window to its normal size - a proper animation
could make this feature even more attractive
* holding the MOD key (windows for example) and hitting the space bar your focus
goes to the desktop
* hitting ESC would cancel this focus
* having focused your desktop you would navigate through your desktop objects
(folders,files,pipes,iconified windows,...) with the arrow keys
* hitting again MOD+space you would bring up a contextual menu
* hitting MOD+enter you would activate the default action for this object
* contextual menus could be defined like this
window icon (minimized)
restore (default)
restore maximized
close
folder
open (default)
open term in
copy to
rename
delete
file
open (default)
open with ...
copy to
rename
delete
* hitting MOD+arrow keys could move our basic desktop objects through the
special "pipe" objects that have some behaviour like "trash" or "printer" (I
remember GNOME 1.x desktop... and Mac inovations...) - with some funky
animations it could be a killer feature !
Best regards,
BONNE ANNEE A TOUS !!!!!!!
