Impovement: shortcuts #3

Open Xerkus opened 10 years ago

Xerkus commented 10 years ago

This extension will be way more useful for me if there will be configurable shortcut to open list, so it can be used without mouse.

Also extra shortcuts, shift+down/shift+up, to move selection to application in next/previous workspace will be nice. Preferably with cyclic selection.

Wouldn't it be a duplication of Alt+Tab? It may be confusing for some users (I haven't made up my mind yet, just thinking aloud).

For those who prefer to use keyboard heavily for navigation your plugin is barely useful without shortcut to open it. If you cautious about messing with people habits by overriding their shortcuts - just do not set it initially. Actually I prefer that approach over default shortcut.

To clarify shift-arrow: arrows are working in your list, shift-arrows should work like that, by moving selection in the list, not to go to window itself like alt-tab does.

IMHO ALT+TAB default should be optionally superseeded by all-windows. It makes a lot of sense as the alt-tab is common and known, the standard alt-tab gnome-shell gui not really what I want. For me it would be natural to get the all-windows menu driven by the known keys with the dependencies of the screen ( #4 ) and workspace.

What do you think ?
