Seems to work with native-window-placement-extension. Maybe in one case the selection algorithm could be improved a little bit: When a window is placed and selected on the left of the screen and another one is placed below it but a bit even more left, it's not selectable by left-key, only by down-key. I think left-key would be practical in that case, especially if you have a lot of windows and want to choose the most-left window. Maybe this could be fixed without breaking other cases? I'm not sure if I will use it, but it enables one-finger-key-pressing-window-switching what can be useful in some cases. Maybe switching workspaces and organizing windows on workspaces would be another nice feature? (for example arrow-key workspace switching by going all over to the right and window dragging via shift). On the other hand - is there a reason why such a feature isn't integrated into core gnome-shell? _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
