Hi Fred, 2011/6/15 Fred Obermann <[email protected]>:

My main tools are the Netbeans IDE, a terminal and a browser so I might not have as many open windows at the same time as you do, but I find the window switching workflow in Gnome 3 actually more efficient than in Gnome 2.x, because 2.x had a bug where Alt+Tab wouldn't let you focus a window on a different workspace. Working mostly with the keyboard, the Alt+Tab / Alt+` shortcuts and the Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys enable me to quickly switch to whatever window or workspace I want. F12 for a Guake terminal and Winkey (activities) + incremental search (type the first few letters of the program you want to launch) complete the picture. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen http://vanschouwen.info/
