The problem here is that with super+num there's one number per app, not per window. You can bring all windows of the selected application to the foreground but you can't focus one particular. This works OK with terminal windows for example but not with full screen office docs.

What if you want to check if a particular application is open via spread view, if it's not you'd want to quickly launch it via the launcher. If the launcher is currently auto-hidden having it pop out is both a useful feature (spread view is used for getting a quick overview over windows on the current desktop and switch to them, the launcher extends this to windows on other workspaces) and it's consistent with its normal behavior. All things considered alt+num still looks like the cleanest solution. The confusion aspect is alleviated by it being hidden by default, i.e. it would be a power user/"keyboard junkie" feature. As long as people don't accidentally hold down the alt key it would work. I'd tend towards having it as a disabled per default option. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
