The window switcher applet that is bog-standard in most Ubuntu MATE and Linux Mint installations have been around the block a few times in its life. But as a window switcher replacement, I wouldn't bet my life on it.\r\n\r\nThis has nothing to do with using soreau's backported Compiz either; The window switcher is still better than your dock at taking me to a specific window, in a specific workspace. Further, it's better at identifying different windows, using only window titles, not program classes or some other convoluted method of determining how the progra is displayed.\r\n\r\nI use Terminator as my terminal emulator. Why is Terminator called \"Root terminal\" ? I use Electric Sheep. Why does that come up as a unknown window? An icon is blinking; I expect to click on it and have the program take me to a window that is attention-demanding. Instead it acts retarded. Not even clicking on the specific window from the blinking icon takes me where I need to be. What? Why?!\r\n\r\nEven old, crippled Avant Window Navigator from awn-testing's Saucy repo does better than this. I don't want to say any of the above, and I certainly don't want to demerit your work so harshly as this is still a new-ish project, but this still has a rather long way to go before it can truly be used as a drop-in replacement for the stock window switcher."}}
