No, you do not need to know the name. The overview uses meta-data about the application. I type "music" and there are all the media players.
Menus that are browsable with the keyboard as well. A time proved design! Yes. And that is exactly what GNOME Shell overview provides. I don't see a menu of applications anywhere, except in fallback mode.
Correct. Menus are clunky, slow, and hard to navigate. But menus are available as extensions.
I'm used to have a command line applet on which I type the name of the apps, or choose a previous entry. I can not add that applet, I don't know how to add applets to the panel. Alt-F2 At least in GNOME-Shell that brings up a command line tool; which also supports history. I use this all the time to run commands with parameters. Me to, but is not the same.
Correct, it is different.
I have two apps running now, one a terminal and another yelp. The terminal is not listed in the bar. That is also confusing. There is a shell extension for a window-list; although I fail to understand the point. The user knows what applications they opened. Not when they are dozens. I want to click on the bar and select the correct xterm, for example.
<Meta> click-on-thumbnail. Vastly superior; the thumbnail actually lets me know which one I want verses "xterm" 5 fimes.
I have only two workspaces, and I have not seen yet how to add more (I work with 12 in this machine running G2). In shell they are allocated dynamically. You always have 1 more [an empty one]. Just go down and a new one will get created. You don't have to "add more", it just happens Ah, all right. But I want then down and right, in a matrix of 3*4.
GNOME3 doesn't do that. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
