In the blog's comments, Felipe Morales linked this extension : https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/10/windownavigator/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/10/windownavigator/, and it's quite good. You can use alt+<Number> to select a window while in 'exploded view'.
- keithpeter 14y agoVery nice too, works with GS 3.6 as in Gnome Ubuntu Remix 12.10. Thanks for pointing out the link. I think some functionality along these lines should be provided by the basic GS though.
- fmoralesc 14y agoFelipe here: I would also recommend another extension that provided window search abilities to the overview, so I could type "hacker news" or "handler.py" and go to the window I needed to, but it doesn't seem to be updated to gnome 3.6. I've been looking at the code and I can't figure out what is wrong with it. [1]: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/317/window-display/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/317/window-display/
- keithpeter 14y agoI rarely use that many windows! The 'exploded' window view shows windows on current workspace so being able to select one from the keyboard means I can group the windows by task/project in different workspaces.
- fmoralesc 14y agoOh, you mean perform actions on the windows without leaving the overview? That would be nice. EDIT: I seem to be have been a bit confused before.
