People,
There doesn't seem to be a dedicated Fedora Gnome list so I am posting
here
- I have looked around a lot for info before posting.
You could try the desktop list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
I will repost there if I can't recover some of the lost productivity
with ideas suggested here - thanks.
In my traditional XFCE4 environment, on the top task bar I have had
direct
access to everything I need to get to: workspaces and stacked programs
of
each app eg: Chrome, FF, Brave, X-Terminals, Kitty Terminals etc.
Now in
Gnome, not only do I not have direct access to the workspace I want (I
usually have four - each used for different work), but the task bar is
only
showing ONE stacked app instead of ALL the apps in the current
workspace -
how do I customise this task bar to look like my usual work
environment? I
want to persist with this environment but so far the update /
changeover has
resulted in a severe downgrade in my productivity . .
You might consider:
Using alt-tab to switch between windows/applications instead of
clicking
on a taskbar? If the default alt-tab isn't to your liking (by default
it
lists all applications and windows in those applications seperately)
you
can change it to do every window instead.
Alt-TAB does not work the same way as in XFCE4 - it looks like I could
do what I usually do with:
Alt-TAB Alt-`
but that is a two-step process.
Hit the 'meta' key (the windows key on many keyboards) to go to the
overview and all your apps, workspaces are shown there. You can even
hit
meta and type the first part of whatever you are looking for is, and if
it's running, it will take you directly to it (ie, 'fire' return, takes
me to my firefox window. more shortcuts at
Very clumsy . .

As mentioned above, I did find that and it helped a little . .
If you have a touchpad you can use gestures to switch to the overview,
between desktops, between apps. See https://forty.gnome.org/ for more
info.
I am on a desktop top and hate having to touch the mouse unnecessarily .
.
Finally if that doesn't work, you could look at extensions. There's
likely extensions that do what you like. See
https://extensions.gnome.org I would advise trying to adjust your
workflow to use keyboard or overview thought. That way you avoid
extensions that might break and it actually (IMHO) ends up being easier
in the end.
I will check them out - thanks!
Phil.
