Re: Left handed usage

 

I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to move it to a different side, I'm
just saying if that's what you want, then present it that way without
excuse or false pretense, and if that's what you want, it should be in a
thread of its own. I personally feel like it would be easy to implement now
that everything is in QML, and it certainly should be an option for people
who want to install something like UbuntuTweak. I cannot say whether it
should be included in the default install, and whether Canonical should
allocate their limited resources to implementing that feature. It is not my
place to say about those things.
