unity launcher position

 

I am using unity 6 months. I am missing two things.

1. Why is launcher fixed on the left side? On wide screens there is "quite far" to reach it if you are on right side. Bottom is closer. But if there is no bottom place for it because of space, there is space on the right side. If I move mouse to the right there should be unity too, why not? I would like to have it on both sides.

2. Faster way to find a started application. Minimised applications are problem. We have alt-tab or i can find it on launcher. But if there is a lot of applications, it takes some time to find the proper window by alt tab. I am thinking of new special button on a launcher or short-cut key combination which would show "new launcher" with all active applications. It can be the same as alt-tab panel. But when it is not launched by alt- tab, I could choose application by mouse click on that panel.
