Alt-F2 is just not yet implemented, it's filed as a bug and will get fixed. Of course we'll retain Alt-TAB! > *Close, MaxVert, Fullscreen Mode* > in a recent thread, i suggested to add a button to the window > controls: fullscreen.

The issue then is to figure out how to get OUT of fullscreen :-) The approach we are taking is reversible gestures, where a particular gesture gets you into a fullscreen situation, and reversing the gesture (I wave my hands furiously ;-)) gets you out. > *Floating Indicators* > One could think of single icons popping up upon transient events top > right corner of a fullscreen window, provided i'm not set to "do not > disturb". > But the visibility of single icons popping up above whatever content > is beneath them is low. > WingPanel is an excellent option here, it would only have to be > transparent, and it would have to know when it is above the content > area of an application in fullscreen mode.
