What I meant was that my comments were heavily influenced by me using both Unity and Gnome Shell. _I_ found the GS interface better for window switching (strictly IMHO :) ), while I found Unity better for the rest(window design, lenses, launchers etc) > 1)Alt + Tab switcher: >> >> 1.a)switcher ignores all mouse input: proposed changes: >> i) Mouse over expansion of app icons to their windows >> ii)click to choose >> iii)click out of area (even while holding down alt + tab) to quit switcher >> and remain on the same window. >> >> Ok, using the mouse to choose might be an ok feature.

But that doesn't solve the problem of Titles. > 2)We also need a mouse-only switcher in the style of the gnome shell >> overview switcher. >> Required design features: >> a)mouse only manipulation with launcher on dock. >> > We have that.

By default, the entire left screen > edge is hot. If you want to use a corner, then you can choose to do that. I was thinking of maybe binding the TRSC/BLSC by default to Shift+Alt+up. IMO, The multiple clicks required are not as convenient as having a hot corner. > c)Integrated Workspace functionality: drag and drop between workspaces, >> choose workspace and choose _windows_ (NOT APPS) all in one interface (again >> see gnome shell) >> > super+s provides you with a workspace switcher and you can drag and drop > windows between them, or you click the workspace switcher in the launcher if > you want to use the mouse. Ahh... the thing I liked the most in GS: One interface combining the functionality of super+s AND Shift+Alt+up > (other features- box around current active window, mouse only exit from >> chooser, window titles below preview) >> > > There are improvements to be made in the super+w and super+numnum views.
