I don't know what alt-tilde is used for, but it's an awful combination for people who use keyboard layouts with dead-keys. Keys such as ~, ^, ", ', are all dead keys in my keyboard layout, and I need to use them and a letter to compose words such as não, péssimo, bebê, and so on, so key combos with them do not work well. > 2) Windows on the current workspace Please. I tend to use a workspace per activity - and I believe this is where shell is (was?) going to try and lead the user. If we have an activity-centered model, a way to overview that activity would be very helpful - I don't care about my "social" activity, where I keep my xchat, empathy conversations with friends, and gwibber when I'm working on packaging gnome shell, so having a way to tell shell to focus on the current activity would do me good ;D The problem is I usually have lots of activities, and many applications with _some_ windows I care about currently. Application-centered behavior doesn't strike me as any good, because I really couldn't care less about the pages I'm using to search for an apartment while I am working - I just want the pages related to my current work. The problem is, since the number of workspaces and windows is big, my alt-tab switcher goes beyond the screen borders, and the windows are so small on the global overview, that it is essentially useless without zooming each window. I think locality is very important.
