I (and others, like Netbook users) don't have a large display Alt-Tab exists in GNOME now IN ADDITION TO the window list, why can't both a keyboard and mouse solution exist in shell? Most of my day is spend reading (not replying) to emails and reading on the web. My hand is never on the keyboard in the first place so needing to put on there is actually less efficient The third example uses Compiz and as that's not compatible with GNOME Shell, it's not a solution > Subject: Re: Scroll to zoom in/out. > From: tomek xiaoka com > To: gnome-shell-list gnome org > Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 07:41:49 +0200 > > Dnia 2010-04-13, wto o godzinie 19:48 -0400, Jason Sauders pisze: > > What if alt+scroll is bound to zoom > > in/out?
