- Include eviacam package in repositories.

Broaden the accessibility configuration menu, making it more comprehensive for all types of disabilities:

- Incorporate gnome-mousetrap and eviacam to the list of mobility applications in the "Preferred Applications" menu.

- Enable multiple app selection in the "Accessibility" tab of the "Preferred Applications" menu.

Extensions for Gnome (by using Zeitgeist framework) can be designed to serve designated purpose. In fact extensions like 'search-recently-used-files', 'search provider' or 'appsearch' already exist for Gnome. The problem can be solved by either including these extensions and configuring (if needed to suit Ubuntu) in Ubuntu Gnome or building new one. Moreover different category tabs like App, Music, Video etc. should be added above the notification area or on top of Activities window (overlay) in Gnome (As in Unity Dashboard) to let user filter out the results.

Develop an API for software wallet manipulation, and add a control panel in the system settings. This control panel acts as the main GUI to do simple tasks like send money, look the transaction history, register financial accounts for Bitcoin Wallets, Google Wallets, PayPal, etc. Through other programs (such as the Software Center or a web browser) you would access the API to send and receive money. By extension this would enable other developers to more easily integrate commerce solutions for paying, donating, and managing money in both an on and offline way.

if you type something into a text box often, it should be remembered, so the next time you start typing in the item, it will show a dropdown of suggestions, which you can navigate with the up and down keys, and auto-fill in the text box with the suggestion with the right key. (most things like this would use the tab key to do this, but the tab key is used to go to the next item in a website, and will frustrate people if it is also used to auto-complete a word.)

instead of showing the message "caps lock is on" when caps lock is on, show a message like "can't use caps lock in password fields". this takes out a bunch of anoyance, but still warns the user caps lock is on, after they type in the password.

Show a tick mark to the right hand side of the selected option in a dropdown. They can always see the previous selection and it reassures them that the previous selection is not lost.

This is a simple mockup of this idea

One could simply use a grey selection for the currently selected option and the normal orange selection for the option, the cursor is pointing at.

There is a package called ink that can do that in the command line:

ink -p usb

but it would be nice if you can see this graphically within the options of the program to administrate printers: system-config-printer-gnome.

Increasing numbers of printers are network-capable. It would be helpful if, when connected wirelessly, the ink program were made capable of checking levels and cleaning printheads.

Freedesktop is usually the way to allow interoperability between different DEs. Instead of a daemon, it would be nicer if there was a sort of standard so that any file browser could use the same list of most liked places. The benefit would be that not only nautilus and dolphin would be able to integrate, but also any other file manager that follows the hypothetical standard.

Add Copy-append as TN 3270 helpfiles define it:

"Use this command to copy the currently selected data and append it to data already on the clipboard. This command is unavailable if no data is currently selected."

On a broader approach, copy-append could handle files too, but at this point a deamon to control and give an overview of the clipboard would be needed.

The deamon should run a system tray icon, hovering over it should give you a preview of what is stored in it.

The deamon should also notify user when he tries to append incompatible data (eg. text and files).

It could also have a simple GUI, where the user can define if he wants the function to be on, and what he wants it to handle (text, pictures, files and folder tickboxes)

I thought of an even broader appoach:
a system-wide box where you can temporarily store drag&drop and copied(ctrl+c) content with preview categorized by kind. like text, formatted text, files, images, ...

copy, paste and cut should behave as usual but should be kept in a history of defined length.
to combine selections there are 2 options: a hotkey eg: ctrl+shift+c/x the second time or open the dropbox and select 2 items of the history and press ctrl+c/x

hotkey suggestions:
copy append: ctrl+shift+c
cut append: ctrl+shift+x
paste the next item: ctrl+shift+v
paste first item in history and then delete it and select the pasted: ctrl+shift+z
show dropbox: holding ctrl+shift until mouse is over it

while holding ctrl+shift the dropbox should be transparent until the mouse is over it. So the user can see whats happening and what is being pasted when he presses ctrl+v/ctr+shift+v/z. It should also be always positioned farest away from the mouse so it doesn't hide anything important
it should also be possible to move entries into other categories what would be done by converting: eg: image to file; formatted text to text; file to text (filepath)

As in solution #2 #3 add a daemon that controls copy-paste operations with history but also add following things:

1. Possibility to tell the daemon that this is the application/file I will want to copy to. This could be just a shortcut key e.g ctrl-alt-z and pressing this key combination would tag file as "active" for the daemon.

2. If some file/application is tagged as active then all copy operations are put to a database along with information on where the data was copied from. This would make it possible to search relevant data from different sources and collect the data/source information to database

3. If pasted normally (ctrl+v) just the latest item would be pasted. If user selects alternate paste e.g. ctrl-alt-c daemon would open clipboard editor window in which user could search data with
A. To file, e.g. what file was tagged active before copy operatio.
B. Free word search
C. From location, e.g. where data was copied from

4. Further this could be developed by adding a "project" tag to database so that copy operations could be tagged to specific projects.
