Hi Wido,
Thanks for your reply. Below you can find my remarks.

Those options are for new windows. Those work fine. But I'd like it if
existing windows were brought up on the current desktop, which is not
the case, the view is always switched to the desktop where the window
currently resides.

There's no shortcuts in Settings->Input->Key Bindings for any of the
following:
- change/set scaling
- hide/show all shelves
- change shelve sizes
How would one implement shortcuts or scripts to do those things
specifically? I can do that in xfce and gnome fairly easily.

I thought Settings->Look->Scaling would affect gtk apps. I'll see if
loading services and setting DPI through dconf helps or not, but I'm not
too optimistic.

In Settings->Windows->Window Switcher there's no options to return to a
"normal" alt+tab behavior like in gnome, xfce, kde, windows, etc.
I tried winlist-ng but it doesn't compile.

I think it's a bug. I can reproduce it every time even on a new profile.

Yeah, it's Settings->Look->Borders but it does the opposite of what I'd
like. It makes the borders of the window not resizable but the title is
still resizable.
The fact I can't set params in Signal Binding Settings must be another bug.
