DebolazI've been thinking of one thing I feel Unity is missing... When I want to navigate between 2 different applications, that requires only a single mouse click. However, navigating between 2 windows from the same application requires 2 mouse clicks. Wouldn't it be a good idea with a visual element that lets you easily switch between windows of the currently active application?10:26

MirvDebolaz: I believe I've seen earlier discussion on why the current behavior has been designed. of course, it doesn't mean there couldn't be a design change at some point11:09
Mirvat least it's consistent with the super+number from keyboard - one press switches, two presses gives option between windows11:10
Mirvanyway, reading up with https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/ could be useful11:10
DebolazMirv: There's also alt-tab for switching between windows of the current application. However, all those solutions has a problem: They require moving from the mouse to the keyboard. Not always convenient.11:20
DebolazThe mac keyboard bug also makes it a really awkward key combination, since you have to use the right alt.11:20
Debolaz(Admittedly, it only affects a small minority of users)11:21
Mirvdanilos: alt + the-key-on-the-left-side-of-1 you probably mean? yes.11:21
DebolazYes.11:21
DebolazBut like I said, I'm forced to use the right alt. Which makes the combination a 2-hand combo instead of 1-hand.11:22
Mirvthat's unfortunate indeed11:22
DebolazThe problem being that Linux tends to not be able to map apple keyboards correctly.11:23
DebolazSo I need to specifically assign left alt to be the level 3 key in the keyboard option. But this makes it unavailable for any shortcut for some reason.11:23
DebolazAnd as far as I understood it in the bug report, there are no plans of fixing this.11:24
DebolazBecause it's a fairly complicated issue.11:25

tgm4883I haven't looked though one yet, I was only on my netbook last night so screen space was limited14:25
bobweaverahh yeah I ripped open themusic and app's lens last night be I am also going to do some more work as I have a 3 hr bus ride today14:28
tgm4883bobweaver, have those made it into quantal yet or do I still need to pull from the PPA?14:28
bobweaverNot sure I am pilling from staging14:29
bobweaverpulling *14:29
bobweavertgm4883,  you thinking about myth ? or TV ?14:30
tgm4883bobweaver, both14:30
bobweaver \o/14:30
bobweaverI am confused about what is going to be used for the rating and also why the video one is not previewing any of my media14:34
tgm4883I haven't touched the mythtv scope in a while, but now that 12.04.1 has passed and I've finished my blueprint work items for 12.10 I should be able to work on tv stuff more14:35

Mirvjbicha: sorry, the build-dep wasn't bumped now since I was under impression seb would be doing the metacity upload as well (and he decided to postpone it a bit)16:13
jbichaMirv: thanks, it'll get fixed in the next upload16:14
Mirvjbicha: but since your metacity is in NEW, it's possible to time the compiz re-compilation (+ dep bump) together16:14
Mirvjbicha: yep, no problem16:15
jbichaI should have uploaded metacity hours ago since it would have got stuck in the new queue anyway16:15
Mirvit was complicated enough that the testing PPA didn't reflect lp:compiz trunk exactly, becase the branches landed only at the very last minute...16:16
jbichaMirv: so the new Compiz/Unity doesn't actually conflict on the old metacity now?16:19
Mirvjbicha: no..16:21
Mirvand Unity is just a re-build (with gsettings support added) of 6.2 release that is 1.5 weeks old, not new unity16:21
Mirvwhich means FFe is needed for the actual new Unity16:21
Mirvhttps://code.launchpad.net/unity is quite mad with merges16:22
Mirvnext cycle everything will be of course ready earlier before FF :)16:23
sil2100Mirv: ping16:23
jbichaMirv: I stopped believing that a long time ago ;)16:25
Mirvsil2100: pong16:26
sil2100Mirv: ok, sorted out ;)16:26
Mirvsil2100: cool ;)16:26

popeyddeathly, this really isn't the right place. you have a question on askubuntu, but also we have #ubuntu for support questions20:13
popeyddeathly, your question isn't related to unity, so is out of place here20:13
popeyddeathly, also you didnt follow the instructions correctly on askubuntu20:14
