Okay, but I fear that wouldn't help you if you want to insert a new workspace somewhere in between of the the "chain"? > I say this since I use a mostly keyboard-centric workflow, whereby I > will navigate to a new workspace via ctrl+alt+down, hit the meta key > to open the overview and then type in the name of the app I want and > hit enter..

Maybe it would be possible to launch an applicatioon on a new workspace above the current workspace whenever <Alt> is pressed while clicking the icon with the mouse or hitting enter after typing the name (even within the Alt+F2 launcher). Right now, pressing <Ctrl> while clicking an icon already forces the launch of another instance of an already running application, however there doen't seem to be an equivalent for a keyboard centric workflow form within the window overview. You can always start another instance using <Alt><F2> when working on the keyboard though, but that has nothing to do with the <Ctrl> toggle. > Martin: Your best bet to file a feature request on the gnome bugzilla. > I'm just brainstorming here and may file a request myself based on > what I've written above. > > Cheers, > Jeff > I am new to the mailing list, give me some time before you direct me to bugzilla. :) Best regards, Martin _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
