How should I configure that? no config option. this is how e works - no options. the app window is put WHERE you ran it. if u want it on the current desktop - run/launch it there. e does this to keep things consistent as to where they belong. it's especially useful for things that take a while to start like libreoffice, browsers etc. - you launch on a desktop - then switch somewhere else.. browser comes up where you launched it... as you'd expect, not suddenly appearing on the current desktop due to a launch event 10 seconds ago on another desktop > 2) I would like to make custom keyboard shortcuts to : > - change scaling (this is useful when I changing to a high-res > monitor, laptop screen, or my TV especially if I'm far away) no such action. doesn't exist. > - hide/show all shelves no such action. > - change shelve sizes no such action. :) > I do this in Xfce with xfconf and in Gnome with dconf, but > enlightenment_remote and edbus don't seem to offer the same level of > configuration. there just aren't any actions for what you want. what you REALLY want is not the above. the above is a workaround. you want e to remember specific scaling settings PER SCREEN. and per screen i literally mean that specific display device. remember such settings based on edid. there is a slight problem at the moment - e and elm only understand a single scaling factor. we need then to understand multiple scale factors (one per window for example). this is on my long todo list for "fixups for multi screen handling". > 3) How do you scale gtk apps like deluge or nemo? ask gtk devs/docs. sorry - no idea. > 4) Alt-tab behavior is different and I find it weird.
