I like the fact that on MX F4 button is associated with xfce4-terminal --drop-down. I can just press F4 to open or close it and it won't be another window and it won't take space on my panel and if I don't press Alt+F4 and exit from the drop-down terminal, it will keep the session going without appearing on panel or on tabs when you press Alt + Tab. Too many windows don't help the switching process and I don't know what other option there is to switch other than press Alt+F4 or manually click on the icons (which I don't like to do)

Now, what apps support --drop-down options? and is there a way to make more apps support this feature?


Also, is there a better ways to swtich tabs rather than press on the icon or Alt+Tab?


Also guys, what do you use to switch tabs when you have to see refer many windows at once? Having a bigger screen probably helps, but yeah, what do poor folks do? I remember having some nice feature in Gnome where if you press a button every tab active will be visible and it had a nice interface to it, anyone know how to do that on MX xfce?

I can't comment specifically on --drop-down as those annoy the heck out of me. If you don't mind a bit more of a manual approach to window switching without fancy bells and whistles, rofi can do that for you with rofi -show window and typing a few letters gets me there faster than looking for a snapshot of a window or an icon.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
