Re: [Ayatana] Unity Dock Icons behavior - Context Menu
Thanks for the explanation. That would be perfect if QuickList entry for new window could be reactivated for apps that support it, right. In this connection, regarding the question for switching between windows, is there a discussion / decision ? When we want to switch from one of the current instance to another, we have to click on the icon in Unity dock, and it shows us with an animation a small view of all these windows. I'd like that the current window is shown at the right side and the other shown closest and near the Unity dock (in top left), it would be easier and make less mouse move to change instance. ... Would it be possible to add a configuration option for current window going to the (top) right when clicking to switch, and other(s) on (top) left or bottom ? Thanks in advance.

Hello Xavier. I've leaned over the table and enquired about this, and John has told me that the middle-click shortcut is supposed to be *in addition* to the means of opening a new window via the right-click QuickList. Apparently it's a co-incidence that one temporarily disappeared whilst the other was being introduced. -Paul ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ayatana] Unity Dock Icons behavior - Context Menu
At the beginning, with mouse right click on an icon, there were 3 lines : - Keep in launcher - Quit and a third one to launch another window of the program (ie a second terminal instance, or a second Nautilus window...) No this possibility disappeared, it's available with middle click. I agree with this, just suppose we are using touchpad (ie laptops, notebooks, netbooks) and not mouse. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
