Number overlay on Ubuntu Dock
GNOME Extensions (Dash to Dock, Dash To Panel) has option called "Number
overlay".
When you switch to some window on a panel using Super+[0-9] (or Super+Q) a
badge with a number over app icon appears.
This feature greatly helps with productivity witch a large number of tasks on a
panel. For example if there's only 4-5 apps running/pinned on a panel, for
average user it's not a problem to find each number and use shortcut
Super+{0-9] . But if there's more (it's a common-case when app windows are
ungrouped), IMO, user won't bother to count or them and use aforementioned
combination (using instead Alt+Tab, mouse selection on a panel etc).
Number overlay appears with GNOME Extension if user:
1) Switches apps with Super+[0-9]
2) Press special keyboard shortcut for that (Super+Q)
3) selected "Always visible" option (it might conflct with different in
As for design and conflict with different badges (progress bar, notifications,
sound), this number overlay could be placed:
- over aforementioned badges (like "Dash to Panel" does). However this one
would conflict with "Always visible" option
- on the opposite side of the task-manager element (this might conflict with
either "sound" indicator or "notification" badge)
I've attached screenshot of "Number overlay" on Ubuntu Dock ("Dash to Dock"
GNOME extension version).
