Re: Suggestion: Make a dock from application icons in overview



On a side note: One thing that I would LOVE in Gnome Shell is a better Alt + F2 application launcher (and a more convenient shortcut, such as Alt + Space) that provides completion while you're typing, and that has some kind of grammar allowing you to do other things than just launching binaries. See GNOME Do ( http://do.davebsd.com/ ) for an example. I tried gnome-launch-box but it doesn't even come close. Maybe we can add (and improve) gnome-launch-box?

Agree. Using additional methods of launchings apps would mean something is lacking in the default environment.

I am using docky, too, for this purpose! But this should be a built-in
feature of the shell, it is a much more consistent experience. For
example, with docky I have to setup application launchers twice, as well
as other customizations.
