Which makes a lot of sense to me. I can understand that, and leaving it up to the application is definitely the right thing to do -- but pushing it to a dock-ish location sometimes, but not always, is perhaps at least an awkward move, if not a wrong one. But I can appreciate the train of thought. We'll see how it plays out. On the other hand, traditional applications have done this by presenting application-wide controls in whatever seemed the "main window" and left peripheral windows without menus or with really specific ones. GIMP is a good example of that, come to think of it. Anyway, here's to trying out new things. Of course, I have to temper that with stating that I'm almost exclusively a KDE user at this point -- and really can't complain. > > Also, the Ctrl+Alt+TAB (the old Leftie Vulcan!) -> Navigate thing reminds me of why we used to have the Space Cadet keyboard, how it got that name, and why it was eventually ditched... > > See other mail ... suggest a specific shortcut and file a bug.
