Bug description:
Hi,
As a quicklist has a patch to land in Unity (see lp:1107866 ), a
feature request is having a quick way to close the windows from the
quicklist.
Before having the quicklist patch, here is how we close a specific
window of an application:
* keyboard: [alt]+[tab] or ([super]+number x2 then select with arrow
the windows) then [alt]+[f4] or [shift]+[esc] depending the apps or
[alt] then [C],[L],[O],[S],[E], [enter] (the HUD way)
* mouse/touch: [click] or [tap] on the apps icon x2, mouseover the one
to close, then use the ribbon to close it (or get focus then clic on
top-left close button
The problem, on low spec machines like netbooks or others low specs/no
drivers compatible, is the mouse/touch way requiere a call of visual
effect (compiz).
Proposed solution :
* mouse/touch: [right clic]/[2-fingers tap] to call the quicklist on
the icon apps from the launcher (as it is from the actual patch), then
use a [X] shortcut into the quicklist. This should solve the problem
that a call to compiz (and its latence effect due to lack of decent
hardware/driver) is required to close a specific windows with
mouse/touch only.
Any suggestion(s) from the design/ergonomy team is welcome (for
example: "should it have reduce and/or maxime button too?")
In the below attached pic, you can see the main idea:

does not put it too far)"
