Don't worry. I agree. I'm just saying that, if an application does buy into that appindicator-style nonsense, at least it should be possible to get something tolerable without having to maintain a patched version. > It's true for all other IM applications around - Licq, Psi, Skype, > etc. I use their context menu not too rarely and I hate to miss it or to > click twice to open window.

If there's anyone who understands the concept of "well-chosen defaults don't justify forcing them on everyone", it's me. I'm the Vim junkie whose introduction to Vim was delayed by five years because I had the mistaken impression that someone was being pushy about trying it and my instinctive response to dig in my heels kicked in without conscious notice. (Something I've spent my entire life learning to suppress.) ...though, for the record, all my keybinds are using a Rosewill RK-9000I which is one of the most compact, basic 104-key keyboards you can find with mechanical keyswitches. (The limited edition 9000I was on sale for less than the normal 9000) I just set up a few custom global keybinds for the stuff I use a LOT... all either mnemonic or otherwise easy to remember. For example: F12 (Toggle urxvt with kuake plugin and GNU screen) Super+Space (gmrun or other history+tab-complete run dialog) Super+Pause (Play/Pause) Super+Left/Right (Previous/Next Track) Super+Up/Down (Jump to First/Last Track in Playlist) Super+J (Show Jump to Song dialog) Super+KP_Plus/KP_Minus (Increase/Decrease master mixer volume) Ctrl+Alt+NumpadNumbers (Tile active window to matching monitor regions) Ctrl+Alt+NumpadEntry (Cycle active window to next monitor) (F12 and the Ctrl+Alt+... binds were things already in muscle memory from Yakuake and WinSplit Revolution. Hence why they were the easiest to remember.) > >> 2.

I use the scroll wheel on the Audacious icon as my volume control when my hand is already on the mouse. Another problem with the idea of using the AppIndicator design universally. (I used Audacious global hotkeys to bind Super+KP_Plus and Super+KP_Minus as my keyboard-based volume control options.) > > Andriy. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite! > It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production. > Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead. > Download for free and get started troubleshooting in minutes. > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=48897031&iu=/4140/ostg.clktrk > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
