Not sure if this thread is really the best place for this -- but something that REALLY bothers me on this is how hard it makes to do research, or any kind of task that involves moving data from one application from another.
So, for instance, I'm currently doing a project that involves a lot of cutting and pasting between a firefox window and a text document. In the old days I would have sized the two windows side-by-side (and possibly used a window manager that allows me to do this very quickly), and then moved fluidly back and forth between them. Now switching between applications ruins this setup, because other firefox/emacs windows obscure my view of the complementary window when I switch applications. If I try using Libreoffice, the effect is even worse, because every document is necessarily opened in a separate window there. If Unity isn't the place to fix this, what kind of utility ought to be developed? I've been using Unity now for about 2 months, hoping to get used to it; and I like many bits of the experience, but this single feature is greatly reducing my work efficiency and I'm wondering if I'll just have to switch to Mint, or Kubuntu, in order to fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783498 Title: add per-window ("window-centric") window management to Unity (launcher and/or compiz) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/783498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
