-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Phil,
I use the keys on a 10in 1024px x 600px screen Netbook running Ubuntu Netbook remix. Ubuntu Maximus http://lifehacker.com/5609147/use-maximus-to-go-full+screen-in-ubuntu starts most windows maximized with title bars removed to conserve space. I would have to mouse up to the top panel to flip between them. I often work bouncing around on the bus and the touchpad can generate false clicks. alt-tab is ideal for changing windows. There is still some screen resizing. With no title bar there is no single mouse click to resize the window (that I have found so far). alt-F5/alt-F10 are ideal in this situation. I find it can be very hard to grab the edges of the screen with the touchpad for the odd finer grain resize hence Alt + F7 and Alt + F8. So it's not classic accessibility need but as frequently happens, good accessibility is good for everyone.
