Funny, I read the "Alt-Tab" change and said "Finally!" I have a "scratch box" that I noodle around with and that I'm just running the stock desktop, and the alt-tab default was driving me crazy. It's unexpected, as someone who doesn't use it very often. (My normal desktop is i3wm). As far as better multimonitor support, one of my coworkers has had a lot of problems with his third monitor, some kernels are working and some aren't. I have no problems with my 3 monitors, but again I3...

It really bears repeating and pointing out that a lot of the really awesome things about i3 "just works" in a way that Gnome has lost many years ago. Considering its 'rough-hack-a-text-config.file' roots to make changes I really am impressed with it. I've used i3 for many years, (I recently moved to sway but I'm going to move back) and I am so impressed with how it gets out of my way.

  I hadn't heard of sway, it looks interesting. But, you are switching away from it, so I guess not? I'm a little bit stuck, but it looks like sway has "gaps" support, in that my new monitor has a bug where the very left and right edges have a parallax issue with the backlight: so you can't read the left or right ~8 pixels of the screen. I'm using an undocumented feature of I3 to work around it. Don't want to change to a different monitor because otherwise I love this "cheap" 4K 42" panel. I had gone around and around about a new monitor, and don't want to open that process up again. So I'm using a kludge.

    I have one dislike of a 'Feature'; window-resizing, and one bug (related to window-resizing). Using keyboard+mouse: To resize you bring the mouse to the vertical or horizontal frame that you want to adjust, hold down the meta key (Win in my case), and right-click+move to adjust it. In i3: you only adjust that single frame. In Sway: you adjust the whole vertical & horizontal window size. This effects all other 'attached/touching' windows and unintentionally screws up some formatting for me. Like I said, 'feature'. I am using this on a cheap 42" 4k AOC monitor. I get 4k@60Hz.
