command to reposition workspace in gnome 3
I am using the gnome 3 desktop (version 3.8.4) on a fedora 19 system.
Often I find when I create a new window I would like to immediately move it to a new workspace immediately above or below the current workspace. To do this I currently have to i) move the window to a new workspace which is by default positioned below existing workspaces; ii) go into the switcher (is that what its called) and use a mouse to reposition the new workspace to the desired position. Can anyone suggest a shortcut for doing this? I cannot find any way of scripting something like "move workspace 8 above workspace 4". Thanks for any suggestions. |
I ditched Gnome3 a couple years back out of frustration with its un-usability so my memory is hazy, but iirc, isn't is something like "mouse-2" (usually a scroll wheel these days)?

Thanks for trying to help.

How can you lower a window that hasn't been created yet? When you launch an app, instead of clicking with mouse-1, click the icon with mouse-2. Does this open the app in a new workspace?
Sorry I can't be more precise but like I said, it's been a couple years since I've even touched Gnome3. I'm sure there are plenty others here who can help. Else maybe try Gnome's irc channel. Good luck. P.S.; Not sure how much of a "newbie" you are but you many want to consider alternative DE, as many long time Gnome users found Gnome3 unpallatable. For example, last I read, Linus hated Gnome3 so much that he'd switched to Xfce4. There are also projects that have forked Gnome2, e.g. Matte, that you may want to check out? |

Sounds like you may want to investigate tiling WM's, e.g. Awesome, SpectreWM, dwm, etc. Not integrated DE's so you need to spend more time "rolling your own" configuration but doing so allows for the ultimate flexibility and customability.
fwiw- I use Enlightement, kind of a hybrid between DE and WM. |
