Application Menu not showing using Ctrl+Space from another fullscreen app #153

Open galah92 opened 6 years ago

galah92 commented 6 years ago

Say I'm using the Terminal in fullscreen (by pressing F11). Then pressing Ctrl+Space does open the app-menu because when I type something and press Enter that app does get open, but I can't see that app-menu at all.

Adding a screenshot to understand easier.

(And the shortcut key to open Applications Menu is not Ctrl+Space but Super+Space)

Minimize app (Super + h) first, then launch app_switcher (Super + space). Full screen apps have priority over wingpanel and friends in terms of stacking context at the moment.

Or we can get back to the normal window if Super+Space is switched. If we want to do this maybe it would be addressed in Gala, not in Application Menu though.

Ideally app_switcher should have priority over everything else. Right now when u don't wan't to minimize your window just launch the switcher and type whatever app you want to invoke - it's invisible due to full screen running app but it doesn't forbid from typing files and hitting enter for example to launch file manager - it's actually kinda funny.
