That`s way more complicated than EdgeScroll 100 100. And what about gnome? I looked for it and didn`t even find a way to adjust the number of virtual desktops (or only that), let alone focus follows mouse and moving over the screen edges. > Compiz.

Hm, why would I want to do that? I have currently 6x6 and they would be too small to see anything. > KDE does not do true tiling (Compiz did). Fvwm doesn`t, either, but I have some entries in the menu that tile some windows on the current desk. It works much better than a tiling WM like i3. > It does do pining, which is what the pin button at the top left of > each window does. You mean sticky floating windows? I3 is really nice, but it doesn`t do that, and I sometimes need them ... > And keyboard shortcuts for desktop changes (thought the default is > Ctrl+F1-4 rather than ctrl+alt and arrow). Ah yes, and those didn`t always work because everything had a key binding and they would conflict with each other ... That doesn`t happen with fvwm, they just work. Many default key bindings are very useless to me because I use my trackball with my left hand, and I have a German keyboard which has an AltGr key on the right rather than an Alt key there. So I need key bindings I can use with my right hand. And neither with kde, nor gnome you can even have the scroll bars on the left side where they belong :( Kde is at least capable, but when you do that, the menu entries inevitably move over to the right where they don`t belong and it gets even more awkward than it already is. Most X11 apps do it just fine, seamonkey does it --- and I think emacs too, but I turned them off. Note for Fedora.next: Please make the scroll bars finally configurable and provide a way to switch the key bindings so that they can be used with the right hand ... -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
