Esc key actually help a lot here. On large screens, using a touch scree n interface is actually more work and far less intuitive than operating a keyboard. It takes far less time to press Esc than move my hand and swipe the curtain off a large screen (and and even less time than dragging the curtain off with a mouse). No one wants to wave their hands around a large screen. On a small 10" screen or lower, the extra effort needed to operate a touch screen is much less. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
