Stop programs grabbing keyboard focus while typing  
Written by freexe the 10 Sep 08 at 15:33. Category: Usability. Related to: Gnome. New
When I open a new program, it often grabs keyboard focus so I can start typing in the program. I like this function.

If I happen to be in the middle of typing in another program when the program requests keyboard focus it's a pain because I don't alway notice and it ruins my train of thought.

I would like to block programs trying to grab focus if I'm in the middle of typing.

Written by freexe the 9 Sep 08 at 13:34. Category: Usability. Related to: Evolution Mail and Calendar. New
If I'm on a website (in Firefox) and copy the image to my clipboard. I would like to then be-able to paste that image into an email.

Ideally I would like to copy and paste anything into an email and it display or attach it.

Shift Click in Nautilus to work on buttons  
Written by freexe the 3 Sep 08 at 16:34. Category: Usability. Related to: Nautilus. New
If you shift click on a folder it will open in a new window. But if you shift click on one of the buttons like "Up" then it just goes up a folder.

I would like for this function to also work on the control buttons like "Back", "Forward", "Up" and "Reload"

Ie. When you click "Up" it opens the parent folder in a new window and leaves the current window on the same folder.

Task Bar Menu Option: Close All  
Written by freexe the 28 Feb 08 at 19:44. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
When you open many of the same program they group up together.

I would like a button to close all of them together instead of having to click on them and close them one by one.

Search Contacts in Pidgen  
Written by freexe the 9 Sep 08 at 15:15. Category: Usability. Related to: Pidgin Internet Messenger. New
When trying to locate a friend it can be hard when they have long, changing, unrelated nicks or you have a lot of friends.

I would like a quick search to locate these friends by searching for there name, nick or email.

Ctrl backspace word deletion in bash  
Written by freexe the 11 Sep 08 at 15:54. Category: Usability. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
It's fairly standard behavior in many programs to allow Ctrl+Backspace (or Ctrl+Del) to remove whole words instead of single characters.

I find this very useful and would like to see this as universal behavior across more programs like bash.

Update Firefox Extensions via Update Manager  
Written by freexe the 20 Oct 08 at 08:46. Category: Others. Related to: Update manager. New
One of the main benefits of the Update Manager is that you don't get interrupted by lots of different programs about various updates that need to be done.

Firefox Extensions break this as I get interrupted about updated extensions when opening the browser for the first time.

It would be nice if these updates could be moved into the Update Manager and handled all at the same time.

Ctrl Click: Open in new window  
Written by freexe the 28 Feb 08 at 19:48. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I would like to be able to ctrl double click on a folder and for it to spawn a new window of that folder.

(Like it does in Windows file manager)
