I think there has been enough discussion around this feature and I don't
really see our design going towards having floating home button on the
screen. Especially as we're working on desktop version of Unity8
currently and  this element would bring divergency to the system as in
desktop environment floating button doesn't work that well.

Title:
  [launcher] Ubuntu floating home button

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Since we do not have the hardware keys, I am thinking whether we can
  have a floating circle (top most) kind of thing like what iPhone has.
  The feature is called "apple floating home button".  Tap it, and it
  pops up a menu to navigate, and a user can drag it to anywhere of the
  screen if it blocks you.

  I personally think it is a useful feature to the end users, and it is
  a convenience. We can use it to navigate to the scope, application, or
  other pages.
