I don't think that the intention of the Panel designers in putting the Actvities navigation link on the Panel was to subsume every other function in the GNOME shell to window and workspace switching. The Activities navigation link was put on the Panel to provide a useful function to GNOME Shell users. | |

The Dash is accessed by clicking the Show Applications button at the bottom of the Dock. | |

Not exactly.. my main suggestion is to ditch these *dash tags altogether (and simply use gnome-shell, unity as the case may be). If this needs a tag at all, only the Ubuntu extension one probably needs it, since I think the Unity dash can go under unity and only the Ubuntu extension is significantly different (organization wise - both code and project) from the native dashes of these shells.

| May 16, 2018 at 4:26 | comment | added | karel | That's the same as what I suggested in my question except that instead of ubuntu-dash I suggested that we call that tag simply dash to reduce the possibility of confusion because that's exactly what the Dash is called. There is already a separate tag for the dash command-line shell called dash-shell so there is no ambiguity with the dash shell. | |
