Hi, I tried the latest gnome-shell in the GNOME3 ISO put up Frederic Crozat and could not find equivalents for few workflows that used to work with the old GNOME. I searched the FAQ but could not find any solution and asking here to find solutions.
Vertical workspace navigation: Currently all workspaces are in only one row. I want a fixed 3x3 number of workspaces. I keep my terminal in the centermost workspace where I spend most of the time. I keep browser, IRC, email client , all one workspace adjacent to the center workplace. This way, from the terminal, I can go to any workspace with just one keystroke. Imagine a big + sign, with my most active workspace in the center. However, with gnome-shell I am not able to find a way to navigate vertically nor does it remember the number of workspaces. Is there an alternate to this ? Keyboard Navigation: When I press the windows (super) key, I get a Windows, Applications tab. But neither arrow keys nor tab takes me to navigate across these two tabs. I am forced to use my mouse for navigating between these two. I have heard that gnome-shell is very keyboard friendly but I am not able to navigate across these two tabs via the keyboard. Any solution for this ? Hiding the panel: I always hide my gnome-panel using the direction buttons in the old gnome-panel. I set the panel to auto-hide also. This way I get maximum screen space for all my applications. However I am not able to find a way to hide the top panel in gnome-shell. How do I do it ? Please help me find alternatives for these workflows. Thanks. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
