It would be nice to have the possibility to autocomplete a command that has been already used and is still in bash history. Sort of shift+tab that would work just like the tab command in bash, but instead of searching in /usr/bin and/or in the directory for possible completions, it would search in bash history.

It would be fantastic to have an attribute on files that was like create-time, but one that *never* changes. It's set the first time a file is created, anywhere in the world, and it remains the same forever after that.

It would need to remain the same (i.e. be copied over) whenever the file was moved, copied, renamed, modified, transferred over the internet (obviously some protocols might not be able to handle this; but if there's a way to do it, it needs to be done), and transferred from system to system.

If the file gets copied to systems that don't support such an attribute, then the value should be stored in the best possible place that guarantees it'll still be set when copied back to a supporting system -- where possible.

Create-time currently doesn't exist at all (there's ctime, which is really time-permissions-last-change, a relatively useless piece of information.) Even if it did, it wouldn't be very useful if it updated whenever you copy a file. Nowadays, everyone's always transferring files around on USB pendrives, transferring them via ssh, and whatnot. We want the information to be attached to the *document*, not the inode. (But it should still be a filesystem function)

create firefox searchplugin für ubuntu brainstorm

I like to combine my current X desktop with an other X desktop on an other computer.
Like multihead configuration on a single computer but on multiple machines.


Let me explain it in detail:

I have to 2 laptops, let me say employee A has one and employee B another. Now it would be realy fantastic if employee A could move his document (let me call it "foo.bar") to the other employees laptop, of course to the background, don't steal the focus, this would be annoying.

This would be very helpful, if you work on a project with different sessions, usermanagement and so on.


Have a nice day
Sparky

P.S.: Xdmx,x2x,vnc won't do it

Xdmx replaces the desktop on the client machines, but everyone should be able to continue his work on his own mashine. Xdmx overtake the screen and only one person can work.
I wanna work with someone else together, on a project or something like this, I don't need a simple large screen.



- Multiple Mousepointers
- One Desktop, some X Servers
- Sharing the users X Servers (not like VNC which started an nother one)

The Brainstorm statistics at the top of the page ATM says:
"The Ubuntu community has contributed 10942 ideas, 49795 comments, 1066521 votes"

If you post another idea or vote for any idea, the stats don't change, so I think they are updated just once a day or so.
It would be cool to have a "realtime" update

There is no way to bookmark an idea in "detail view" (after you clicked on it)
- okay there is but hard to see. too hard?

like "all" | "open" | "worked upon" | "done"

There seem to be a fairly large amount of ideas requesting applications to be added to the repository.
