I am starting to make use of more than one workspace and would like to
know whether each space should behave as if it were an individual
computer. I ask because if that should be the case then there may be
something wrong with my set up. For example I am using my web browser on
space 1. Leaving the web browser running, I change to space 2 to read my
email. There is a link to a web page in one of the emails so I click on
it and the page that was open in space 1 appears.
The web browser is Google Chrome.
Example actions:
On workspace 1, open a browser window
Move to workspace 2, and using the launcher browser icon, right click,
and choose 'open a new window'. A new browser window opens in
workspace 2, (which is independent of the browser already running in
workspace 1)
Move to workspace 3, and open say a Libre Office writer text doc or
something.
Note the white dot marks around the icons of the apps which are running.
The white dot marks are triangles or empty chevron, context dependant
on workspace use. Current workspace shows solid dot.
Now, single left click on the browser icon in the launcher. You should
expect to see enlarged thumbnails of the two (possibly different)
browser windows, you can choose one. With pc with 3d graphics
facility, you can drag and drop between the thumbnail workspaces.
Now click on the launcher icon for libre office. You are taken to the
relevant workspace and the app is the 'current' window
My personal preference is for the workspaces to be arranged linear
(left- right, and not in a 2x2 matrix, which I loose track of
Very clear and useful example. Just one snag, I forgot to mention that I
am using Xubuntu and the icons appear not respond in the same way as
those in Ubuntu.
