<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br></div>This topic came up in my previous one about window placement, and I'd like to go further.<br></div>So currently there is no such thing as Global shortkeys and keyboard focus, however let me present a typical real use-case:<br>
<br></div>I have a dock which is most of the time hidden (because a window is overlaps it) and some applets inside. Using the keyboard is therefore a very convenient a fast way to access the items inside.<br></div>For instance, ctrl+F1 pops the Applications Menu, which has a text entry inside; the entry takes the focus so I can immediately type some letters, and the menu will only display the relative applications.<br>
</div>Down arrow + Enter let select the desired one if it's not already on the first row.<br><br></div>I could also pop up the translation dialog with another shortkey, immediately type the word I want to translate, press Enter, and see the result.<br>
<br></div><div></div>Now, I've read some vague things about privileged clients, is it stillĀ being considered ?<br>Would it be some Android-like capabilities that the user validates on installation or the first time they are required by the application ?<br>
What are the plans for these 2 key features ?<br></div>
