Gnome 3 forces a radical change on how I work. I have spent hours reading FAQs to educate myself on how to force myself into how Gnome works. For some items I have adapted somewhat, and for others I struggle to find a suitable workflow. Note that I am using Fedora 15.
Example 1: Assume that I have only two OpenOffice.org (OOo) documents open. I can use Alt+Tab to quickly move to OOo, but, I don't see an easy way to jump into a specific document that I see. Note that I found it very cool that I can use the mouse to then choose the specific document after selecting the application, but, apart from using the mouse I see no way to use the keyboard to tell Gnome that I should then jump between documents of that specific type. Example 2: I may run multiple applications on a single virtual window. Many of the windows may be from the same application (OOo, Terminal Window, etc). I may need to alternate between the application windows in the current virtual window (or is that virtual desktop?). In many cases, I may keep a specific application open on the left and two open on the right. If I want to simply jump to the application that is directly under my current window, I would typically minimize the current window and I have it. If I drag the window further to the right, it suddenly takes up half the window (which is even worse, would love to be able to disable that auto-resize, sometimes I love it and sometimes I loath it). A hot key to send the current window to the back would trivially suffice to solve this issue. Example 3: Many things seem to be missing, for example, if I install a development build of OOo and I ant to add a short cut so that I can easily run it. I don't suppose that I can do that without directly editing a file in a text editor (which is the only method I have seen).
