Public bug reported: Currently the shift action is set to launch a new application, exactly the same than the control action. If there is more than one window for an app (say in position 1), then super+1 will open a preview to switch between them, which is nice but has some shortcomings:
1) It's not a particularly fast shortcut, it requires moving between the previews and pressing Enter to pick one. 2) It's a bit quirky when auto-hide is enabled (the previews are relocated after the dock hides itself again). 3) The previews are fine but a bit small. Now, there is another way to achieve iteration which is to use the configurable shift modifier for that. Currently it's mapped to the same action than control, that is, launch a new instance of the app. Wouldn't it be more useful if you instead mapped it to iteration between app windows? Since Ubuntu is not exposing settings for this, it seems to me that as a "hard" default aliasing the shift and the control behaviors is a waste. ** Affects: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832940 Title: Consider making the shift action iterate windows by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock/+bug/1832940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
