super+n+up/down/home to rearrange launcher icons.

 

I rearrange launcher entries fairly often as I change contexts. For instance, when I'm programming, the terminal is 3, geany is 4, bazaar-explorer is 5, etc. When I'm playing the guitar, then Audacity is 3, Tuxguitar is 4, etc. This makes it very easy for me to switch between apps using one hand and I really love it.

However, it just dawned on me that I always use the mouse to rearrange those entries. That should not be necessary. I should be able to press super+3downdowndown to move the third entry down to the sixth place, super+5upup to move 5 to 3, and so forth.

I should also be able to press super+7+del to remove the seventh entry from the launcher. Similar, I should be able to press super+5+home to keep the fifth entry on the launcher.

It would also be nice if I could use super+4rightarrow to expose its quicklist and then use up and down to navigate that menu.

What do you think?
