Hi
I am a new happy Qubes user. Getting almost everything to work on a
Dell 7530 with xeon 2186 and Nvidia P3200. Qubes 4.01 made things
quite easy :-)
I find Qubes very intuitive to work with, but I have a suggestion
that I have no idea if it is easy or hard to do.
It is just a work flow thought without any knowledge about what would
be affected.
When I work in one qube it is a common task to open other programs in
the same qube. If working in a terminal I want Scite for scratching
for instance.
Then it would be awesome if there was a quick way to get the
application-list from only that Qube. My suggestion is that I could
find the application list for that specific Qube by right clicking
the top of the application. In the menu about maximizing, minimizing
and so on. With that in place I guess it would be possible to also
put a key-combination on that feature. Since that would be a 1
dimensional list it would be easy to navigate just with up and down
arrows.
Just a thought since I notice, when I am in the middle of a thought
in some work, it rips away the focus to think about what Qube I am
in, searching the start menu for the right qube and then searching
the application list for the right application.
I use Qubes primary to separate different customers when I work as a
consultant. Never mixing data from different jobs gives confidence.
BTW, I became a monthly supporter from today, worth every penny.
Thanks a lot for Qubes OS

Hi Nicklas,
I use a number of xfce Launchers on the taskbar to achieve something
similar. Each of the launchers is for a separate qube, and has only
as many individual program entries as I want shortcuts for in that
qube.
This was described in this list some time ago, but I can't remember
who it was unfortunately, nor find the original email. I think it was
in reply to a question about how to organise workflow, or maybe was
it possible to edit the main menu. Anyway, kudos to the guy who
described it - it's worked brilliantly for me ever since.
Mike.
Hi Mike
Thanks a lot. I will try to find out.
