Hi everyone, I’ve just tried Budgie for the first time over the past day, coming from Ubuntu 16 + Unity.
One of the first features I’ve been missing is the lack of window previews. I have several Chrome windows, several Terminal windows, and I want to know to which one to switch. Unity shows window previews on Alt+`. Shouldn’t window previews be built into the DE?
Anyway, I installed the applet but it takes 1 second to even start displaying it after I press Alt+Tab, on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th generation, with Core i5 and 16GB RAM. I switch tabs several times a minute. Other times I stay in one application for a longer while, but let’s say I Alt+Tab 5 times a minute on the average. That’s 300 times an hour, so 5 minutes per hour wasted waiting for the window switcher to display. Over the course of a day, that’s more than half an hour wasted. Is this acceptable?
