Budgie v20 assessment progress report

@AlistairG

After install favourite COPYQ cant define tray popup as [super][c] or [super] anything. I suspect the key i/o is interrupting [super] due to [super] being the hotkey for applications search. This should not be so; [Super][space] or anything else for applications search should be defined in keyboard, but not define single key of [super].

Super is a specific budgie only key - so not alot we can do here. Upstream issue.

EDIT: Think still worth investigating if anything else in GNOME gsettings has grabbed those specific shortcuts

Budgie Desktop settings/top panel size with this laptop are 30 minimum, otherwise the title bar of window maximized gets eaten by the tray bar for some odd reason. You would think smaller better but its the converse.

Have a look here: Fix for Budgie Panel Overlap?

@AlistairG

Hot corners (applet) - yes! this to me is one of my pet annoyances - they should be able to easily be defined as minimize current window, maximize current window; but this function needs to be a custom item - how to do the custom item?

Should be a separate post

@AlistairG

Nemo - where do we go to set up addons or plugins? where are Nemo settings?

Should be a separate post

@AlistairG

While on that; suggestion that dev popup tool for search items within the OS say I find a function thats not within the search can then contribute as time goes on you will build a robust help/finder.

Startup folder - we should be able to drag and drop appimage same as apps, I suspect you cant drop snaps either?

What’s the startup folder?

@AlistairG

With Appimage and Snap they should easily be able to be added to applications and also be able to easily define custom icon.

That’s a appimage/snap issue - they containerise their icons. No desktop should workaround container issues since workarounds break continuously

@AlistairG

You have an Applications Settings which does not appear to do anything?

Don’t understand - what applications settings?

@AlistairG

Minor detail but my personal favourite screenshot Shutter is not compatible ppa.

Not surprised - PPA’s are maintained by individuals and groups - so its not surprising this early a specific PPA is or isn’t available.

@AlistairG

Software Installer often hangs in search eg type ‘video’ and nothing displayed with wait cursor. I have to enter a password for every application I wish to install.

Ah - real issue - this needs reporting to launchpad: ubuntu-bug gnome-software

@AlistairG

After sorting the hotcorners how to I remove minimize and maximize on windows?
