[Elementary-dev-community] Mouse-based Workspace Switching

2012-10-07 Thread Craig
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

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. On 7 October 2012 21:17, Craig webe...@gmail.com wrote: Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop machine (which I haven't used in over a

For power users there's EasyStroke, but I doubt we'll ship that by default. Multitouch should also help on some machines. 2012/10/7 Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff ser...@elementaryos.org https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/94 is the answer 2012/10/7 Craig webe...@gmail.com Having

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

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

Even would be nice to be able to use Super+z to go left, and Super+x to go right, or something like that. I hate to have to move the mouse down to a hot corner, or having to drop the mouse. El 07/10/12 17:47, Craig escribió: Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop

I don't know... Anyway, it's not perfect, because there's a problem with key autorepeat :( If you press Super, then Z, it goes left; if you then release Z, but keep Super, it stops (as expected), but if you now press again Z, it doesn't do left again; you must keep both keys pressed, or release
