I searched the forum for this but couldn’t find anything related.
What about having the ability to manipulate windows while in overview mode?
One very helpful addition would be having the ability to close the window under cursor with a modifier key. Possibly simple implementation in terms of UI design as well…
An more complex killer option would be having the ability to select multiple windows in overview mode. This would require a more complex UI development though; I can see that. But the addition of multiple window selection and manipulation would give us the ability to:
A. move windows in different spaces in to an existing space (mass migration)
B. select multiple windows and move them to a new space to be created on the spot (merger & acquisition)
C. simultaneously close windows in different spaces (mass murder)
[I’m having way too much fun with these short names :)]
In terms of multiple window selection UI, you could designate a toggle spot in the overview mode to activate the multiple window selection state. Once that state has been toggled on, we would make the selection with, well single clicks even. Once selection is complete, we would hit something like a √ to accept the selection, or click on an x (or the toggle once more) to just exit the selection state without manipulating those windows at all. If we were to accept the selection; we would be presented with an action-list that contains the above listed ABC items.
If we had selected A, we would need to point to a space, and the windows would move en mass to the selected space. If we had selected B, we would be presented with a space creation dialog, and make and accept our choices to see all the windows merge into that new space we created. If we had selected C, we would see the selected windows disappear into oblivion.
Anyhow. I had tried TS during it’s 1.x times and frankly found it not very exciting. However; I’m in love with your 2.x version and this is only after using it for a couple of hours that I’m writing down these suggestions! Kudos to the team that is behind TS!
Best!
