Re: [gnome-love] I have realised the problem here

Poor horse.

But in all seriousness... I completely agree with you, I use separate workspaces for a reason: to keep tasks separate from each other, and to keep windows related to the task at hand in the same workspace. The standard way to switch seems broken to me too, but it seems to have been adopted from OSx. However, there's a simple solution: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/

You can even set it to only display windows in the current workspace. There's no need for agreement in ideology when there's technology to enable all of us to solve our problems ;)

After talking with some GNOME users and developers I have realised
there's a common misunderstanding.

The goal of the GNOME Shell is to focus on one thing at a time, but
normally when I have multiple windows or tabs opened all are related
with the same task at hand. They are simply different stages of the same
process.

0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0

If I want for example produce multiple videos, having all those windows
open eases me finishing one video at a time, since I can quickly change
between stages.

So here's the problem: you are confusing finishing things one by one
with visiting the tools one by one. If you really care about focus you
would want to make changes between tools as easy as possible.

Thanks for your attention.
