Long ago I had a setup where I had named workspaces and had configured particular tools to launch on specific ones. That was very productive for me. The GNOME workflow doesn't support that very well -- instead, it's great for ad-hoc grouping and moving things out of the way. You can get it all set up, but when you have to reboot and restart things it's all gone. > > * That said, when using the scroll wheel, the switch workspace animation > > feels too _fast_.

Interestingly I have no problem with the direction mapping -- whatever it is doing seems obvious to me. > You can enable "Center new windows" in the Tweak tool. It's the lesser evil > for me.

I defined a custom shortcut to launch gnome-terminal in Hmmm, good point. Mostly just the terminal, but in general, I use the overview to switch between windows not the dash, so clicking on an icon there to get an existing window just isn't something I do. > I created a video here: > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1547#note_1012548 Thanks -- yes that's exactly it. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
