Title:
  [switcher] Closing apps is too complicated

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Released
Status in The Unity 8 shell:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It requires too much interaction to close an application. Especially
  this example use case is really cumbersome to walk through:

  You switch between apps with the right edge gesture and notice there
  is an app in there you actually don't want to have running any more.
  To close it you need to do this:

  - left edge swipe to reach the Apps scope
  - long press on an app to show the close buttons
  - tap the apps you want to close
  - long press on an app to hide the close buttons (most annoying one)
  - select an app again

  So all in all this is more than 10 seconds to close an app which is
  quite annoying.

  Ideas for improvement (just random ideas. some could be combined, some couldn't):
  * always show the close button (a bit less eye-catching) and change behavior to only close the app when the button is pressed, not anywhere in the app's screenshot.
  * have some gesture to directly close an app instead of just minimizing (i.e. left edge swipe)
  * get rid of the long-press for exiting close-mode. maybe tapping on an app (not the close button) could directly open that and dismiss the close button while only tapping the button closes the app
