Hi,

This is great and detailed feedback on the Gnome shell!

I'm running version 3.4.1, with the accessibility, on Ubuntu 12.04. The accessibility of the shell is very usable, though some things seem to take more keystrokes than is most efficient. For instance, single-keystroke shortcuts, such as 'super+a' for the application chooser, 'super+1' through 'super+9' for the first 9 apps on the dash, would be helpful. What Magic Banana has done with key bindings makes me think this is possible, but, where to start?


Cheers,



Dave  Hunt

I am a happy GNOME Shell user too. I have only installed one extension: Alternative Status Menu. Not only to get an easily accessed Shutdown entry (like you mentioned) but mainly to have the option to hibernate. Indeed, here is my setting: I have defined key-bindings for the ten first workspaces and have 1) Emacs; 2) Evolution and Pidgin; 3) Liferea; 4) ABrowser; 5) GNOME Terminal and 6) Exaile running (what occupy about 1 GB of RAM) on the six first workspaces. I know by heart their key-bindings and I always suspend or hibernate. I found this setting very efficient. Of course, the choice of applications is mine and another user would certainly run other applications.

Here is an important link you forgot to mention. Anybody who wants to test GNOME Shell should read the content it points to (or feel lost).
