Hit the overview key (probably has a windows logo on it; hey, at least the

I agree that the "extreme slide" you describe here makes workspaces hard to
use.
This extension helps, by making the workspaces already expanded so you don't
need to go all the way to the edge -- I think it particularly makes sense

Particularly if you get in the habit of using the key to activate the
