It would be great if there were a checkbox in Compiz settings to select Vinux compatible keybindings. Even better, if the user does an accessible installation, it should be enabled by default. Vinux compatible bindings are described here:

I understand jaws is open source now..

have the developers visit their local blind foundation and ask to sit and watch how people access the system. and maybe get ideas of doing things a better way..

Who knows the foundations world wide might see (pun intended) ubuntu or linux in general is the way to go.

btw I am a full member of the blind foundation here in New Zealand.

Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #11057 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

I think that there are some I/O events that should not be allowed for compiz actions or the system actions like closing windows.
Here the policy should be strongly restricting: if the user configures those key-biddings, the system rejects it, executes no change, and asks the user to choose another biding or leave as it is.

For selecting restricted biddings, think on those actions that a simple or common application, like a word processor, could use:

- Pressing an alphanumerical key [ANK] (letters, numbers, punctuation signs). In fact, only the Function and Special keys (volume up-down and applications) should provoke alone a system event.
- Control + [Alphabetic Key (letters)]. Reserved for the applications.
- Alt + [Alpahabetic Key] they are using for menus.

Similarly, some mouse gestures: Moving the mouse (only moving, not to a given screen edge), wheel up and down,
cliking a single button.

I know that "restrict" doesn't match "freedom" but somecases you can restrict things that no sane and sober person would do. Who would turn its keyboard into a minefield?

I think the trouble we avoid is worthy the "personification" we impede. Of course, even for that case we should have some "very restricted" permission.

As described above. Here's a (very cheaply done) mockup:

http://stanford.edu/~atorch/QuickMockup.png

A few little extra ideas: clicking on Custom when CCSM is not installed could open up the Software Center, or prompt the user with "Would you like to install CCSM?"

Once CCSM is installed, clicking Custom could prompt the user with "Would you like to open CCSM?"

So why not instagreat it in

The proposal by levan will be too complex for new users. Why don't we give just give 3 options in the behaviour tab.
1. No animations
2. Some animations are shown
3. All animations

Similar to how android does it. A user who wants to tweak individual animations would know about ccsm and will surely go that way.

Have the 3 options from solution #2 and an "advanced" button to take the user to the full list of effects.

This way new users don't need to worry about a complex effects list, but those who do want to can still enable or disable specific effects easily

Instead of hunting for them myself, perhaps it would be best to include a "page" in CCSM that would show the mouse bindings, keyboard bindings, and hot-corners/edges currently in use for Compiz. Tooltips for keyboard and mouse buttons would show the modifier buttons needed for that key for all actions bound to that key.

This would also be great if it was integrated or part of a global keyboard/mouse binding utility as suggested in (many) other ideas on Brainstorm.

If compiz can show in real-time movies and such moving things, then I say it would not be too hard to keep an accurate record of what is in the title bars of each desktop and show it when looking around.
EDIT: this might also provide a solution to keeping a window [review for minimised windows in window selectors slash rollover previews.

Not just the ones on any given cube face. I use it as it enables me to ditch the bottom panel entirely. It displays the title of each window / website so you can tell them all apart and when you select an app it rotates the cube to the appropriate side for you :-)

when rotating the full 3d cube, instead of showing the active windows on all sides of the cube, show only all the active and minimized program('s) icons( and titles) as tiles on each side.

As a compiz plugin, or just a feature in trackpad/mouse options, you could have an accessibility option to create or assign a small keyboard switch that disables the mouse temporarily, and makes the trackpad a scrollable area.

For example, make the "Alt Gr" key, without combining it with anything else, switch the trackpad into an area for only scrolling, so you can scroll up or down, left and right and in all directions limitlessly and freely moving about.
I find myself reading articles and doing a lot of scrolling in Ubuntu on Firefox, Chrome, Evolution, Banshee and even in Nautilus, so having a switch as quick as my example, might give Ubuntu a usability advantage when compared to anything else. Apple implement a multi-touch scroll quite nicely, but this could be even easier, and more simple to create.

To turn it off, simply press "Alt Gr" again, press escape, or give the option to exit out of the scroll mode using just a click. I know this is a long explanation, but it could be really cool, if implemented system wide. People would only need to be aware of the feature. I hope this is understandable as a concept.

I think this is a really good idea... But why not go to "scroll-mode" when some key is pressed and "mouse-mode" when it is released. Saves some time if you ask me.

You would also need an option for lefties, like myself, to have the scroll-key on the other side of the keyboard.

Grtz, Alex

Make it so you can choose from any leftover keys, and be able to decide whether it's a scroll-on-press trigger, or an on/off trigger.

Instead of using keys or the little scrolling bar at the side of a touchpad two-finger-scrolling should be enabled by default.
