I'll miss this feature, but I realize that for the "average user" which only uses ctrl-x/c/v it is probably a good thing.
Personally, I've long been planning to switch back to a tiling wm anyway.
- antocv 13y agoWho is this average user you are talking about? Its a myth, a fantasy, an excuse for all things gnome and other "lets make a product for idiots" does to butcher itself into oblivion, many startups do the same mistake. The idea "for the average user" or "for your grandmother" is a mind-trap that leads to poor choices and poor products. Dont make products for someone not interested in using it, make them for someone like a child instead of an old person like a grandmother. Just give a kid a smartphone or KDE and look how they learn and use the devices (Ive seen it with my own eyes, a kid use KDE to start his games, save pictures form the internet, view them in dolphin etc, and he was just 4-5 years at the time.), and give a smartphone or KDE to a grandmother and see basically nothing happen.
- inthewind 13y agoYou really think that average users use the keyboard shortcuts? I'd wager they use the menus or icons. Chorded keyboard shortcuts are not that easy, especially for novices. I wonder how you copy and paste with a touch device? And how easy it is.
