0)Heavily inspired by Gnome shell that comes with ubuntu 11.10.
Please try it out if you haven't. Waaay smoother and more intuitive
than unity for window switching and workspace management( Alt+ Tab
and the overview switcher you get when pressing super/TLSC)
That is just a claim. If you want to be taken seriously, then you have
to provide something to back your claims up.
1)Alt + Tab switcher:
1.a)switcher ignores all mouse input: proposed changes:
i) Mouse over expansion of app icons to their windows
ii)click to choose
iii)click out of area (even while holding down alt + tab) to quit
switcher and remain on the same window.
Ok, using the mouse to choose might be an ok feature. But in that
case, clicking would select an app, not display the previews. That
would have to be a right click or something else.
1.b)Previews alone are insufficient to quickly choose between windows.
It would be useful if the titles of windows were also provided in the
list.
If you want to switch between windows of the same application, then
you shouldn't use alt+tab. You should use the button above tab
instead. You press esc to escape from the switcher. I think that's
quite appropriate.
2)We also need a mouse-only switcher in the style of the gnome shell
overview switcher.
Required design features:
a)mouse only manipulation with launcher on dock.
We have that. You click the icon to focus the most recently used
window in the group. You click twice to get an overview of all the
open windows of that application.
b)Quick access w/o clicking: hot corner maybe TRSC/BLSC
We have that too. It's configurable. By default, the entire left
screen edge is hot. If you want to use a corner, then you can choose
to do that.
c)Integrated Workspace functionality: drag and drop between
workspaces, choose workspace and choose _windows_ (NOT APPS) all in
one interface (again see gnome shell)
super+s provides you with a workspace switcher and you can drag and
drop windows between them, or you click the workspace switcher in the
launcher if you want to use the mouse.
(other features- box around current active window, mouse only exit
from chooser, window titles below preview)
There are improvements to be made in the super+w and super+numnum
views. I agree with this.
