Re: Unity Task Switching (keyboard-shortcut for closing spread windows)

 

WOW. If they implement all of that it will be fantastic.
I know there may be quite a few users who would question the removal of workspaces by default, but:
A) they're still optional
B) I used to use them all the time, but I've found that even without all of the extra features/improvements in this document, task switching in Unity is easier, so I rarely use workspaces now.

+1 to the middle click idea and to having a keyboard shortcut. My only thought is that Ctrl+W is not intuitive for close. Since any letter might represent an appropriate word in one language but not another, I wonder if delete might not be more intuitive and international?

The proposed Unity Task Switching features are nice work: https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1EdrlUuZvA9P8-BZufUU2KlHGjg49p9UacF4MCL0U5uA/edit?pli=1&pli=1

However, it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut option for closing windows from within Full-Spread and Application-Spread. The google doc made no mention of this capability.

I hope the following feature for closing windows from within Full-Spread and Application-Spread will be added to the feature-list: 1.) when a window in Full-Spread or Application-Spread has focus (i.e., orange highlight), pressing Ctrl+W will close that window.

I think it would also be beneficial to have this feature as well:
2.) middle-clicking a window from within Full-Spread or Application-Spread will close that window
