Re: Why not add some more convenient features to Shell?

[Amy <mathematical coffee gmail com>]

Hi Rahul,

Nice idea!

The great thing about gnome shell IMO is the extensions[0].

If you want a feature like that, you can implement it! And it's _javascript_ so not too bad. Then whoever wants to use it can use it and those who don't, don't have to.

I think that's your best bet for having this feature incorporated into the shell - creating (or having someone else create) an extension that does this.

cheers,

Amy

Hiya, it seems to me that everything in Shell has only one autistic, inflexible way of doing things. I think Shell is polished enough by now, so why not start adding more features?

For example, the right click desktop menu can be utilized for a very productive, yet clean menu. But currently is fat and useless. I'm all for touch-friendly, but not at the expense of real productive computing,. Not looking to troll or anything but here is a simple suggestion (mockup) to show you what a couple extra options to right menu can bring in terms of convenience and productivity.

See what I mean? People will probably love little things like this that can make lives easier. And look how beautifully it matches the Shell's slick aesthetics! ;) So I just wanted to say, start adding stuff now, even little enhancements. Put it out there. It's the little conveniences and time-savers that make users happy.
