Hi. I recently upgraded to Fedora 35. I would like to change two
behaviors
back to what I had before:
- when I mouse up to the hot corner, the application dock is now at the
bottom of the screen. How can I get the dock to position itself
vertically
along the left side of the screen? I've tried a few gnome extensions but none I can find does that (except when floating the dock, which is not
what
I want).
I don't know about this, as I don't make use of the dock. Hopefully someone else will know a way to do what you want.
If there isn't an easier way to move the dock, maybe the dash-to-dock extension could be useful?
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/
That doesn't look to be packaged for fedora, so you'd need to install it from the extensions site or package it. :)
Thanks, yes, it's a good suggestion but not what I want.
Is there a good reason the dock has been moved almost as far as possible from the most sensible hot corner? I thought the whole idea is that the top-left corner is fastest for most people to get to, and then the dock was right there. Why would it be on the bottom now? It defeats the purpose.
- When I alt-tab I can get an application list, but not a window list
(e.g. if Thunderbird has two windows open, I see one entry for
Thunderbird,
not two). I think I used to use an extension called "Alternate Alt-tab"
to
change this, but that extension doesn't seem to be available for F35.
The alt-tab extension isn't needed (and apparently hasn't been for some time -- I only noticed that around f33 or f34, as I used it as well). You can set alt-tab to switch windows instead of applications.
This can be done via the keyboard shortcuts UI, but I find it's simpler to do via gsettings. I haven't updated to f35 yet, but for f33 and f34, this is what I do (I don't expect it has changed, but caveat emptor):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications "[]" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-applications-backward "[]" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows "['<Alt>Tab', '<Super>Tab']" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-windows-backward "['<Alt><Shift>Tab', '<Super><Shift>Tab']"
Thanks! I found it in the keyboard shortcuts settings and swapped them.
Bonus question: I can't find a weather extension for gnome anymore. The
one
I used to use was called "OpenWeather," I think. Is there a substitute?
I still see the openweather extension in the repos for f35:
$ dnf -q list gnome-shell-extension-openweather | cat Available Packages gnome-shell-extension-openweather.noarch 1-0.49.20210509gitd714eb1.fc35 updates
Is it not available or not installable for you?
Oh, it's there, I just thought we didn't do that anymore and they were all in extensions.gnome.org. That's confusing. Anyway, thanks! I installed it.
