How to show only opened apps in the current workspace on unity?
I've never been a "workspace user" but now I'm starting to feel the need to separate my work..
Is it possible, on unity, to only show apps on the running on the current workspace?
An example of what I'm looking for would be:
- Firefox is running on workspace 1.
- I'm on the 2nd and click on Firefox.
- I get a new window instead of being sent back to the first workspace.
I think this something similar was possible on classic gnome and maybe it works for unity too, however I don't remember how.
Press Shift+Alt+up to scale affect all apps open on current workspace
Press Super+w to scale affect all apps open on all workspaces.
- What are Unity's keyboard and mouse shortcuts?
As far as opening another instance of a running program in a new workspace goes, you can just middle-click on the icon instead of left-clicking - but I don't think there's any way to hide applications running on another workspace at the moment. Maybe this is a feature you could request by filing a wishlist bug?
