[Elementary-dev-community] Mouse-based Workspace Switching
Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop machine (which I haven't used in over a year), I've noticed a real irritation when trying to switch workspaces while one hand is on the mouse--the user has to take a hand off the mouse, put both hands on the keyboard (many keyboards don't have a super key near the arrow keys), activate the workspace switching motion, and then return their hand to their mouse to continue working. This isn't as big a problem on a laptop as most laptops have semi-decent trackpads right below the keyboard; however, on a typical desktop, this is a real irritation. Under older versions of Ubuntu (the ones that used the compiz cube by default) I liked being able to hold ctrl+alt and then click/drag to change workspaces; however, that still requires moving one hand to the keyboard which still feels tedious if your hand isn't there already. I propose coming up with a solution. It may not seem like a big deal, but if you're like me (having one application open per workspace) this can be a real annoyance.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Mouse-based Workspace Switching
Hot corners is the solution, but it's part of a bigger question of whether Luna is coming with any hot corners enabled by default.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Mouse-based Workspace Switching
This brings up another annoyance that I have seen in my use of elementary. When I use Luna, I use it on a laptop. I like to perform most of my actions using the keyboard if I can. However, when I use the expose all windows shortcut [Super + w], I have to move my hand to the touchpad/mouse in order to select the window I want. I believe there should be an easy way (arrow keys, or the like) to select the window I want and then press enter/space/something to bring it to the front. I haven't discovered anything for it yet, unless you guys snuck it into a newer daily image. If everyone agrees, I can open a bug for it. Sorry for adding yet another thing to the list.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Mouse-based Workspace Switching
Hey Dane, I think there's already a bug report for that :) You might want to check and then add yourself as affected. Craig, As mentioned before, I think there are a few solutions we should make available in addition to the keyboard shortcuts: a multitouch gesture (not yet implemented), a dock shortcut (also not implemented), and hotcorners (implemented). I personally use the hotcorners and I think they work really well. I don't think however that we should ship any hotcorners enabled by default. For people that don't understand what hot corners are, having one activate is incredible disorienting. But I think with the new Desktop plug, it's relatively easy to configure.

I think a launcher makes sense, as do hot corners.

I hate to have to move the mouse down to a hot corner, or having to drop the mouse. There's a proposal to assign the actions of Super+Arrow keys to Super+WASD keys which is a great idea IMHO. -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff OS architect @ elementary -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Nos leemos RASTER(Linux user #228804) ras...@rastersoft.com http://www.rastersoft.com -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Nos leemos RASTER(Linux user #228804) ras...@rastersoft.com http://www.rastersoft.com -- Nos leemos RASTER(Linux user #228804) ras...@rastersoft.com http://www.rastersoft.com -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
